Order VII. HYKACOIDEA. 

 LAMNUNGUIA. GLIRIFORMIA. 



Two long curved incisors in the upper jaw ; no canines ; 

 molars 12-14 in each jaw. Toes with flattened nails, the hind 

 toe with a claw. Mammas four inguinal, two pectoral. 



The lower incisors are straight ; they are four in number, the 

 upper are only two. There are no clavicles. The stomach is 

 complex [simple, Huxley'], the caecum "very large," and there is 

 no gall-bladder. As in the preceding order and in the Garni vora, 

 there is a zonary deciduate placenta. 



This is a very small group, with four or perhaps five species. 

 One of them, Hyrax syriacus, is the coney of Scripture ; another 

 species (Hyrax capensis) is the " badger " of the Cape colonists. 

 It was at one time considered to be a Eodent. Very recently 

 it has been combined with the elephant to form the order 

 " Chelophora" \y. Koch].
