FELIS SPELtEA. 59 



points in a large series of leonine and tigrine skulls that we cannot consider them of 

 specific value. 



The frontaP muscle is inserted into the lower extremity of these bones : it passes 

 upwards to join the fronto-auricular muscle, another branch forming a part of the elevator 

 of the nose and upper lip. 



These bones are not perfect in any skull of Felis spelcea which we have seen, being 

 almost entirely absent from the British specimens, and in that from Sundwig presenting 

 only sufficient to show the flatness of the posterior portion which is characteristic of 

 lion.
