THE REPTILIAN CLASS OF THE MOSASAURIDJE.

production of its upper and middle part into a long and slender-
pointed process (fig. 14, 22'), which terminates by wedging itself more
or less deeply between the nasals (ib. is). This structure is associated
with a more backward position of the external nostrils (n, n) than
in Ophidia, the degree of retrogradation being in proportion to the
length of the nasal process of the premaxillary. Thus the charac-
teristic process is longer and the external nostrils are placed further
back in Varanus and Monitor than in Amblyrhynchus and Iguana ;
and in this respect, as in some others indicated by Cuvier, Mosa-
saurus (fig. 15) is nearer akin to the Monitors than to the Iguanians.

Cuvier has rightly represented the backward position of the external
nostrils in the Mosasaurus Hoffmanni, but does not refer to the ante-
rior boundary of the right aperture, which is clearly and correctly
shown in his plate (pi. xviii. fig. 1).
In the same figure is shown the nasal process of the premaxillary,
forming the upper border of that part of the divided nostril. The

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1930.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
