Note 367 — CANES VENATICI. Class II.

This class appears to answer to the second of M. F. Cuvier, having the head and jaws shorter than those proper to our third class of pedibus celeres, but not so much truncated as in the canes bellicosi. The parietal bones, in such types as are supposed to resemble those of antiquity, do not approach each other above the temporal fossæ, but widen so as to enlarge the cerebral cavity of the forehead.
