Abstract
NEITHER in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons nor in that of the University of Oxford is there a skeleton of a wild lion or a wild tiger, and it is probable that there is no such skeleton existing in England. The preparations in our Museums, illustrating the anatomy of the larger carnivora, are almost without exception derived from menagerie specimens.
