and Newfoundland dog, respectively, as 80 to 100; in the wolf as 83 to 100. 

 In the species under consideration this ratio is as KR) to 100, or nearly the 

 same as that of the scapula to the humerus. The femur is thus one-fifth to 

 one-fourth shorter, as compared with the length of the pelvis, than in the 

 ordinary Canidce. As will be seen from the table of measurements, it most 

 Dearly agrees in size with that of the bull terrier, but is about one-third 

 shorter. 



Tibia (pi. II, figs. 7 — 12). — The tibia, like the humerus, is noteworthy 

 for its unusually high degree of curvature, aud, like this latter and the 

 femur, for its stoutness in proportion to its length. It differs, also, to a well- 

 marked degree in the contours of its extremities, especially those of the 

 distal end.
