Fig. 59. — Skull of the Lion : Left Lateral Aspect. 



This figure is intended to show that in the lion the contour of the face 

 between the nasal bones and the cranial region is more flattened than 

 in other fehda?, such as the tiger, jaguar, panther, and domestic cat. 

 This difference is shown by comparison of this figure with the preceding 

 one (Fig. 58). We are indebted to M. Tramond, the well-known 

 naturaUst, for the indication of this differential character which, from 

 the artistic plastic point of view, is one of real interest.
