120 THE COESAC FOX. 



Cranial and Dental Characters. 



Radde's figure of the skull shows the nasal bones stopping short, very 

 decidedly, of the hinder terminations of the preraaxillae ; and such is 

 also the case with the skull preserved in the British Museum so much 

 so that it seems as if it must be a very marked character of the species. 



The only skull we have been able to examine is a mutilated one 

 (extracted from the skin we have had figured), which presents the 

 following dimensions :
