﻿HY^NA CROCUTA. 23 



The measurements 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 hysena measured. They also show that it is true that the metacarpals of 

 the cave hyaena tend to be shorter than those of the modern form, hence it seems 

 reasonable to follow Gaudry l in regarding the cave hysena as a distinct race of 

 II. crocuta.
