Abstract
GERY1 has recently described a pair of foramina in the frontal bones of Crenuchus spilurus Günther. These foramina underlie the posterior margin of a pad of fatty tissue which covers the anterior part of the skull roof. Gery found by dissection that they contained structures which seemed to be connected to the brain. His specimens were not well enough preserved for histological examination.
