 14 HEALTHY ANATOMY.

154. Cranium of a deer ; lower jaw wanting. 1847.

Dr. J. C. Warren.

155. Skeleton of a musk deer (Moschus pygmaeus). Besides the extreme delicacy of this beautifully prepared and di- minutive little skeleton, there are to be remarked the long, curved, and pointed canine teeth in the upper jaw, and in this, only, do they exist. The metacarpal and metatar- sal bones, also, that support the dew-claws, are as long as those for the other toes. 1862. Museum Fund.
