and between the orbits. The zygomatic arches very broad and con- 
vex. The orbit small, rather oblong, oblique. The palate nearly 
flat, broad. The tubercular grinders very large, elongate, full half 
as long again as the flesh-teeth. 
This skull is full as large as that of U. ferox, but more ventricose ; 
the palate is broad, as in U. arctos ; but the tubercular grinder is 
longer, and as long as that of U. feror. I am inclined to regard it 
as a good species, but wait for further specimens. 
In a smaller skull of an adult Bear, sent from Sweden by Mr. 
Lloyd, the palate is even and rather concave. The hinder aperture 
of the nostrils is rather wide, scarcely contracted behind, and regu- 
larly arched in front, with a slight central tubercle. The length 
of the skull below, from front teeth to condyle, 1? inch, of palate 
63 inches ; width at condyles of lower jaw 63 inches, of nose in front 
of orbit 23 inches, of nose-aperture 1? inch, higher than wide ; 
length of suture of lower jaw 23 inches; length of hinder upper 
grinder 13 inch, rather longer than in the other larger skulls, and 
much longer than in the skulls of nearly the same size from Nor- 
way, where the tooth is only 154, inch long; width between orbits 
22 inehes, at back of orbit 32 inches. 
Var. 3. collaris. 
Fur shaggy, hair long, with closer under-fur, black-grey ; the 
legs and feet blacker; the head pale brown; the shoulders often 
marked with a white oblique streak, making a collar.

The French naturalist of the ‘ Venus’ obtained a Brown Bear at 
Kamtschatka, and carried it alive to Paris; and they considered it 
like the true U. arctos (Baird, Rep. p. 221). 
This Bear is very unlike the Ursus arctos of Sweden, with which 
alone I have the opportunity of comparing it. 
It is only necessary to compare the figures of the two skulls given 
in the plate of Middendorf, above referred to, to see the distinction 
between the skulls of the Carrion- and Ant-Bear of Northern Siberia. 
The Carrion-Bear {U. coélaris) has a short, broad skull, with a short 
nose and small, short lower jaw; the Ant-Bear has an elongated, 
narrow skull, with an elongated nose and a large, strong lower jaw : 
the lower jaw in the first, three-fifths; in the second, five-sevenths 
the length of the skull. 
Var. 4? stenorostris. 
Nose of the skull produced, attenuated. Lower edge of lower jaw 
arched.
