Fig. 7. — Skull and horn-cores of the Extinct Etruscan 0\'. From a specimen in the Museum 

 at Florence. After Rtitimeyer. 



Characters. — Probably of the approximate side of the banting, with 

 the horn-cores of the male diverging at first almost directly outwards, and 

 then curving gradually upwards, with a decided inward inclination at the 

 tips. The limb-bones indicate a comparatively slightly built animal ; and 

 the lower molar teeth have a small additional column on the inner side. 



Distribution. — France and Italy during the late Pliocene epoch.
