Edentate skull ; no general conclusions are given, however, except that 
there is a very close relation between the Edentata and the Monotremes. 
In the second paper, dealing with the Insectivora, the native forms 
(i.e., Shrew Mole and Hedgehog) are fully treated of, but among exotic 
forms the author was short of material. In a summary, the Hedgehog is 
shown to be the most generalized type of Insectivora , and is compared 
with the Marsupial. A curious discovery also is that Erinaceus possesses 
no less than five vomers ; two other features are the very large Meckel’s 
cartilage and a persistent pituitary hole.

The author distinguishes six different races of dogs, all with a different 
ancestral history: (1) The Wolf race, derived from Ganis lupus ; (2) 
the Spitz-dog race, from some extinct quaternary species of Ganis ; (3) 
the Jackal race, from Canis aureus ; (4) the Greyhound race, from 
Ganis simensis ; (5) the Hunting Dog, whose ancestry seems uncertain ; 
(6) the Indian Ocean Dog, from Canis pallipes .

principal being that in the Mammalian oviduct there are two muscular 
tunics corresponding to those of the intestine, and that there is no 
mucous muscular coat.
