inferior Herbivore is diffused through a sphere whose radius is 
nearly twice that of the Lion, and six to eight times that of its 
superior among Herbivores, a common Stag or Goat—a condition 
betokening very low grade. Its inferiority among Cornigers is 
also apparent in the small head and brains for so large a body,
