breadth extending from the frontonasal suture and forward 

 between the nasals. This is a feature not quite uncommon 

 in Elks but mostly seen in such with short nasals, and perhaps 

 comparatively more common in Siberian specimens than in 

 European. 



The exteriör genital organs had a feminine appearance. 

 The urogenital opening presents a rather wide vulva situated 

 about 5 cm. below the anus. The labia vidvoe are swollen, 

 and hairy on their outer side. Near the ventral commissure

a large almost globular body about 2 cm. in diameter is 

 situated and it protrudes beyond the labia (conf. fig. 3). This 

 body is, of course, too big to be regarded as a clitoris. It 

 is partly pigmented on its upper half and on its continuation 

 inwards a deep sulcus (conf. fig. 3) is seen on its upper side. 

 This proves it to be a hypospadic penis. In consequence of 

 the situation of this body as described above the sulcus men- 

 tioned appears to be on the dorsal side, but if it had had 

 the normal position of the ruminant penis the furrow would 

 be on the lower side.
