TABLE 



Of the Average Measurement of the Species. 



In the leg bones the girth is taken at the middle of the shaft. 

 In the pelvis the length is that of the pre-acetabular portion only, the 

 breadth is taken at the anti-trochanters. The breadth of the sternum 

 is taken across the body, just below the costal region. In the skull 

 the length is from the supra-occipital to the nasals, the breadth is 

 taken at the squamosals, and the height is the vertical from the 

 basi-temporal.
