IIYtENA CROCUTA. 23 



The aieasiirements quoted above, however, show that some of the skulls of the cave 

 hyaena, especially those from the German caves, are considerably larger than those of 

 any modern hyaina measured. They also show that it is true that the metacarpals of 

 the cave hya3na tend to be shorter than those of the modern forui, heuce it seems 

 reasonable to follow Gaudiy ^ in regarding the cave liya;na as a distinct race of 

 //, crocula.
