Cornevin, C. Etude sur Jes os Wormiens des animaux domestiques. 
Rev. d’Anthrop. (2) vi. p. 661. 
The author finds that in domestic animals the Wormian bones, which 
are generally facial, are most numerous in the less highly bred races, being 
very rare in pure breeds, while, on the other hand, in man, where they are 
nearly invariably cranial, they increase in number in the higher races. 
He also entirely denies that they are in any way instances of atavism.

the Fetlock in the Foetal Horse, Ox, Roe Deer, aud Sambre Deer.

A continuation of the researches already noted [see Zool. Rec. xv. 
Mamm. p. 3, and xix. Mamin, p. 5]. The author confirms the muscular 
origin of this ligament, showiug the processes by which it has been 
developed, and states that in all cases the ligament of the hind foot is 
further advanced than that of the fore, there being invariably more mus- 
cular fibres remaining in the anterior than in the posterior ligament.
