Case 2. — Ederitates {Bruta), Among the Edentates 
shown are Armadillos, the strangely armored Pichiciago from the 
Argentine Republic, two species of Sloth, several species of Ant- 
eaters and two species of Scaly Ant-eaters or Pangolins, from 
Africa. The Armadillos have most of the skin converted into an 
armor of bony plates. They live on roots, insects, reptiles and 
carrion. They are able to burrow with astonishing rapidity. The 
Pichiciago is a very rare burrowing animal. The Great Ant-eater 
lives on white ants, whose dwelling it tears open with its strong 
claws. The Pangohns have the body covered with overlapping 
homy plates. They subsist on ants. 
This case also contains two representatives of the Sirenia. 
These are aquatic herbivorous animals which, in external form, 
resemble the whales. They have, however, no close relationship 
with the latter animals, The uppermost specimen is the Ameri- 
can Manatee, or sea-cow, a resident of Florida. The lower speci- 
men is the Dugong from Australia. 
Case 3. — Hogs and Peccaries. The Peccaries here shown go 
in small herds of eight to ten, and are not as pugnacious as is an- 
other species found in South America. This case also contains 
three interesting species of deer, the Muntjac; the little deer, 
Cervus steerii, the type of its species ; and the Sambur of India. 
Case 4. — Female Wapiti ; The male of this species is in Alcove 
99, West Court.

developed horns.
