the pigmy Little or Two-toed Anteater (Cycloturus

India, and a head of the fine white cattle preserved 
in some Scotch parks, the so-called Chillingham 
Bulls, which are supposed to be survivors of an 
original wild species. Below these we find in this 
case representatives of the 
Manidae and Dasypodidae. 
The Manis or Pangolins may justly be termed the 
“ scaled mammals,” and are indeed called so in 
other languages, for they are covered (except on the 
lower surface) entirely with strong, large horny scales,
