HYAENA SPEL.EA. 155 



Another fragment of a skull from the same locality 

 indicates a younger Hyaena spelaea, by the smaller size of 

 the sagittal and occipital crests, and the limited extent 

 of the frontal sinuses, which are not continued backwards 

 beyond the frontal bones. 



A left ramus of the lower jaw of the Hyaena spelaea 

 from Oreston, corresponding in size with the larger frag- 

 ment of the skull, differs from the Hyaena crocuta in the 

 greater relative breadth of the posterior ridge of the second 

 premolar tooth. Mr. Clift* has figured a portion of the 

 lower jaw of a young Hyeena, " in which remain one of the 

 shedding teeth, and two permanent ones, which had not 

 sufficiently advanced in their growth to have protruded 

 through the gum, but are still enclosed within their alveo- 

 lar cavities. 11 



The Oreston specimens of the Cave Hysena were found 

 in the fissure marked B, fig. 50, p. 132. 



Two canine teeth, much worn, of the Hyaena speltea 

 are recorded by Dr. Buckland to have been discovered, 

 associated with the remains of the Mammoth and Rhino- 

 ceros, in the cave of Crawley rocks, near Swansea ; these 

 fossils are preserved in the collection of Miss Talbot at 

 Penrice Castle. 



In the same collection is preserved the lower extremity 

 of the left humerus of the Hyaena spelaea from the cave 

 at Paviland, on the coast of Glamorganshire, noticed above 

 at p. 124. 



Numerous and highly characteristic specimens of the 

 Hyaena spelaea have been obtained from the caves and fis- 

 sures of the mountain limestone at Bleadon, and near 

 Hutton and Banwell in the Mendip Hills. 



Remains of eleven or twelve Hysenas were discovered by
