"Two holes"?

I think the description here should be a little clearer. It repeatedly refers to diapsids being characterised by having two openings on either side of the skull, and yet every picture shows a skull with four openings. I assume this means in addition to an eye and a nostril, but as it's written now that's far from clear. While in scientific literature one could assume the reader understands this, in an encyclopaedia I think it should be explained. 76.118.92.242 (talk) 18:37, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
