out a formula by means of which the total length of a tiger can be 

 calculated from the skull measurements ; from the formula Mr. 

 Sterndale calculates the length of the Purneah tiger to be 10 

 feet 10 inches. 



There seems to be no doubt that the Bengal tiger is a larger 

 and more lanky animal than the tiger of the Central Provinces and 

 Southern India, though in an all round measurement (Sterndale, 

 p. 167), the Southern Indian tiger sometimes has the advantage. 



The tiger of Central Asia and of Amurland is generally of a 

 much richer colour with darker stripes, and the fur is very much 

 more woolly, this can be seen very clearly in the case of the 

 Afghan tiger brought home by Dr. Aichison of the Afghan Boun- 

 dary Commission now or lately living in the Zoological Society's 

 Gardens in London.
