RECORDS OF BIG GAME 



In the accompanying list of skull measurements many will be found 

 belonging to the skins on p. 454. 



I have not yet seen a Somali skull measuring over 1 5 inches. A 

 lion skull may be easily recognised when placed beside that of a tiger 

 by observing that in the lion all the terminations of the sutures of the 

 skull on the frontal are almost level ; in a tiger the nasal bones extend 

 much further back — besides this a lion skull will stand much flatter on 

 a table than that of a tiger.
