4560. The skull of a male of the black variety of the Leopard (Felis Leopardus). 



The nasal processes of the maxillary are rounded above and do not extend so far back as 

 the points of the nasals. The nasals are narrower in proportion to their length, and are less 

 flat than in the Jaguar. The crowns of the canines show a longitudinal groove on the outer 

 side of their apical half. 



Presented by Dr. Henderson.

4562. The skull of the female of the black variety of the Leopard (Felis Leo- 

 pardus). 



In this the hinder ends of the nasals are less pointed, and do not extend so far back as the 

 rounded ends of the nasal processes of the maxillaries.

4563. The skull. 



It has been fractured across the frontal sinuses, and shows traces of the inflammatory action 

 consequent upon the injury. The nasal bones and premaxillaries are relatively shorter than 

 in the Leopard, and the external nostrils wider. The outer surface of the upper canines has 

 been injured ; the groove on the outer side of the lower canines is very short.
