HIS genus is in some points of an ambiguous 

 nature, being allied to the Pecora, by its cloven 

 hoofs, and to the Ferse, in some degree, by its 

 teeth ; yet differing widely from both in many re- 

 spects. The internal structure of the feet also 

 approaches to that of the digitated quadrupeds, 

 while that of some other parts is peculiar to this 

 genus alone. It may, therefore, be allowed to 

 form at once a link between the cloven-footed, 

 the whole hoofed, and the digitated quadrupeds.
