The practical equality of the breadth measurements of the 

 skulls and the great superiority of 2\ 0. Mnjori in all the 

 length measurements is to be noticed. The measured skull 

 of ornatus is distinctly older than that of Majori, and the 

 female belonging to it, fully as old, is again a great deal 

 smaller. 



The second skull of T. 0. Mojori, although not so old, is 

 larger in proportion to the type than the female of ornatus is 

 to its male, and I am not quite satisfied as to its sex. But 

 it is quite of the same form as the type, and equally differs 

 from either sex of the smaller form. 



JIah. Southern Ecuador, probably the Province of Aznay. 



Type. Oil male (stuffed). B.M. no. 78. 8. 31. 11. Col- 

 lected by ^Ir. Clarence Buckley. Two specimens. 



The young bear from the ISimitara River, Upper Ma"-da- 

 lena, Colombia, mentioned by Mr. Sclater in 1898 (Lc), 

 appears also to belong to T. o. Maj'ori, its unworn teeth 

 agreeing closely in size with those of the type.
