The specimen is in the British Museum, and is No. 28,906 of the 
Paleeontological Catalogue. It is nearly entire, but like the others 
the mandible is wanting, and there is a loss of portion of the left 
zygoma. The last pre-molar and all the true molars are present 
on the left side, also the two canines, and the second true molar 
of the right side. The crowns of the grinding teeth are much 
worn with indications of decay in certain molars, and also in their 
alveolar sockets. The specimen belonged to an aged individual, 
either a female or else a small male, as will be apparent on com- 
paring it with the other crania in the Table. 
The dimensions of themolars are shown in the Odontogram, Fig.1 
(page 60) which also affords a graphic representation in accordance 
with the method suggested by Professor Busk.* The sagittal and 
other coronal sutures are very prominent, and the forehead rises 
perpendicularly as in the Leitrim cranium, but neither of the 
foregoing are so pronounced. 
The parabolic outline of the zygomata, and oblong posterior 
nasal openings are also preserved in the skull from King’s County. 
The canines are 31 millimetres in length from the alveolar 
border to tip, and 23 millimetres in the antero-posterior diameter, 
and are consequently much smaller than in the large Leitrim 
skull. The distance between the first and last pre-molar is 23 
millimetres. 
The Jatter tooth shows the bitubercular crown which however, 
has been demonstrated by Busk to prevail now and then in the 
same member of the dental series of Ursus arctos.f Indeed, as 
regards size, the molars are not larger than often obtains in the 
latter species, and with reference to the relative size of the 
cranium the above and the specimens of Ursus ferox and Ursus 
arctos in the table will be found to agree generally, although the 
antero posterior lengths vary considerably. 
This cranium evidently belongs to the same species as the 
preceding Irish crania,
