layers in which they are found; but their perfect condition seems to indicate 
either that the ancient inhabitants did not care to crush these bones or that the 
foxes died while searching for food after the destruction of the dwellings of the 
layer in which they were found. 
Canis lupus Linnzus (Canis pallipes Sykes[?]). (See plate 71, figs. 1 and 2.) 
In the eneolithic culture-period we find at +8 feet three remains belonging 
apparently to the same animal. ‘These are a half of a right upper jaw, a part 
of the right frontal bone, and the anterior part of the right branch of a lower jaw. 
The dark-brown color of these three bones seems to confirm the supposition that 
they belong to the same individual. The upper jaw is distinguished by a short 
row of teeth. In this again the premolars form a relatively short row and the 
carnassial tooth is relatively very large. If we make the dental row equal to 100, 
the length of the carnassial tooth is 30 per cent and that of the three premolars 
44 per cent. Among wolves, both European, Indian, and American, Studer finds 
the first relation varying between 25 and 29 per cent; only in a Canis hodophylax 
from Japan is the relation 31.4 per cent. ‘The relation of the three premolars to 
the whole row of back teeth amounts among wolves to from 43.5 to 49 per cent, 
and in Canis hodophylax 40 per cent. In our case, however, it is 44 per cent, in 
which the proportion falls into line with those of the wolves. 
This Anau canine was without doubt a wolf whose muzzle is somewhat short, 
the premolars are small, while the carnassial tooth is large, although the anterior 
inner protuberance of the carnassial tooth is very slightly developed. Interstitial
