Of the typical Ceratopsidae, the genus Ceratops (Chasmosaurus) represents a stage in which the frill has become produced backwardly,
Text Appearing After Image:
A.M.6414 Fig. 2. Protoceratops andrewsi. Side view of supposed old male skull. A. M. No. 6414. One-fourth natural size. Although considerably distorted by the lens, this view shows well the great depth of the beak, which recalls that of Psiflacosau'rus, the shortness and depth of the lower jaw, the height and prominence of the sagittal crest of the parietal, the relatively small size of the orbit as compared with that of the younger skull, etc. The great development of the occipital frill and of the jugal is obviously not pri- marily for the protection of the neck but for the support of the robust muscles necessary to operate the great beak and grinding apparatus. The cheek teeth are not shown in this specimen. One-fourth natural size. elongating the parietal fontanelles so that their longitudinal much exceeds their transverse diameter.
