We thank everybody associated with the RSPB/IUCN Hadejia-Nguru Wetland Conservation Project, particuarly Gert Pollet, Esther Mbanyiman and Mamuda Musa. We particularly thank David Thomas for providing the human tree-use data and for fieldwork help. Fieldwork costs were partly covered by grants from the British Ecological Society, the University of Edinburgh, the Economic and Social Research Council, The Smuts Memorial Fund and The Philip Lake Fund.

N2 - In bilateral cleft palate patients, abnormal obliquity and narrowness of orbits are noted on radiographs, computed tomographic scans, and magnetic resonance imaging investigations. Deformity of bony structures (increase in transverse length) is sometimes associated with malposition of eyelids, which results in a typical antimongoloid facies. Five patients were treated, and we report our series to illustrate the problem and its correction using the 'mask-lift' procedure, initially described by Tessier and Krastinova.
