Two New Pelycosaurs from the Lower Permian of Oklahoma |Richard C. Fox
The internal or nasal surface, like that of the premaxillae, is excavated by a deep longitudinal groove, the narial passage.

The Vertebrate Skeleton |Sidney H. Reynolds
The narial passage is freely open, maxillo-turbinals not being developed.

The Vertebrate Skeleton |Sidney H. Reynolds
Corresponding with the clumsy nose are very short nostrils, the commencement of the narial aperture being therefore very far back.

The Cambridge Natural History, Vol X., Mammalia |Frank Evers Beddard

This means that there is a factor that inhibits the development of the narial flap.
