QUATERNARY FAUNA OF GIBRALTAR. 85 
and perhaps a second may have existed until worn away by the usure of the tooth. 
There is no distinct appearance of a groove on the inner aspect. 
The coronoid process is as much reclined as in the Common Cat, and projects back- 
wards to a vertical line, which would touch the condyle and angular crochet. The 
masseteric fossa is very deep, and its anterior margin much raised. 
2. The fragment of the second mandible, so far as it goes, precisely corresponds with 
the former, except that it is scarcely stained with manganese, although it was imbedded 
in the same kind of matrix. j 
3. The entire humerus is 4’°3 long, the proximal end 95 x°70, the distal -50 x °85, 
the least circumference 1'-0, perimetral index :232. This bone has a very recent aspect, 
and is obviously of much more recent age than the rest. 
4. The fragment of a humerus has an ancient look, but corresponds in all respects 
with the above. 
5. The portion of ulna, from the condition of the bone, would seem to belong to the 
opposite side of the same individual as No. 4; whilst 
6. The tibia and metatarsals have the more recent aspect of the entire humerus. 
There can be no doubt, however, that all these bones belong to the same species. 
Of the numerous existing species of Cats smaller than the Lynx, and varying in size 
from the Serval to F. maniculata, and in which the upper carnassial tooth never exceeds 
0-5 or 0°55, and the lower 04 or 0:45 in length, the only ones with which it appears 
worth while to compare the Gibraltar form are :—
