Bovine Animals of Scandinavia. 3 
cores near the roots 7 inches 1 line. Another I have measured, 
whose breadth above the upper margin of the orbits was 7 inches 
5 lines: this measured between the horns upward 5 inches 2 lines. 
The length of the frontal bone 8 inches 4 lines. The horn-cores 
are sometimes flat above, and rounded underneath. In a younger 
specimen, probably a cow, the horn-cores are exceedingly small, 
scarcely more than 3 inches lopg, and at the root 4 inches 2 ines 
in circumference. This species is however always known by a 
protuberance upon the upper part of the forehead in the front, 
and an indenting behind. The usual dimensions of young speci- 
mens are as follows :—

The other parts of the Skeleton.—Allas in form like that of 
the tame ox ; the edges of the wings a little reflected, and behind 
a little broader ; the posterior articular processes small, short ; the 
knob of the upper arch large, thick ; of the under arch more 
compressed over the back edge. Avis like that of the tame ox, 
but the canal in process. odontoid. not so roundly excavated ; 
the spinous process. spinos. has the front edge angular. The 
rest of the skeleton most like that of the tame ox, but each bone, 
in proportion to the length, is more slender and thin. Aflas: 
the breadth over the wings 4 inches 5 lines, under the length of 
the curve 1:3; avis about 3 inches. The length of shoulder- 
blade 11:4, breadth 6:1; from cay. glen. to spin. 1:7; os hu-
