Extract

In the volume of this Magazine for the year 1909 (p. 385) Miss D. M. A. Bate gave a short account with some figures of a remarkably modified goat-like ruminant discovered in some remnants of cave-deposits in Majorca.1 The chief peculiarities of this curious creature are that (1) instead of possessing the three pairsof incisors and pair of canines in the lower jaw, usual in the group,only the median pair of incisors remains, and these teeth are modifiedto form large permanently growing teeth like the incisors of arodent; (2) the cannon bones on both the front and hind foot areextraordinarily shortened, this being especially marked in the former.
