 truding on the other. 



In ten skulls of the Domestic Cat : — 



In five the teeth of the upper jaw were in direct

Dr. Nehring, I. c, points out another difference 

 betAveen the Wild and Domestic race, viz., that the 

 flesh-tooth in the lower jaw of the latter always 

 appears shorter and more delicately formed than in 

 the former. This he does not consider specific, but 

 is the result of domestication.
