Text Appearing Before Image:

480 THE CAT. (chap. XIII. penis is straight, wide, depressed and grooved. There are no Cowper's glands, but there is a sahent prostate. Finally, we come to the cat's sub-order, the tEluroidea. Therein the following characters (which we have already seen to exist in the cat) exist universally, so far as the structure of its component species is known. (1) The auditory bulla is much dilated, smooth, rounded, and generally divided into two chambers by a septum.

Fig. 108.—Skull and Dentition of Paradoxurus Crossii. (2) The bony meatus auditorius cxternus is short, and only produced in front, or else is imperfectly ossified below. (3) The paroccipital process is, as it were, flattened against the auditory bulla, to which it is much more closely applied than it is in the Ci/iioidcd. (4) The mastoid is never salient, and often not to be distin- guished.
