TV. COMPARISON OF THE CAVE, BROWN, AND GRIZZLY HEARS. 



The subject of the mutual relations of the Pleistocene bears is one of very greal 

 difficulty, and very varying opinions have been expressed as to the number of 

 species. Most pala3ontok>o-ists have recognised three species, viz., U. spelasus, U. 

 horribilis [=ferox, —feroxfossilis, = prvscus), and U. arctos. Owen, Husk, Boyd
