OWEN ON THE FOSSIL FOX OF GENINGEN.

length of that of the index or adjoining toe ; it is not quite so long
in the Common Fox (fig. 4. m 1); in the fossil Canis the meta-
carpal of the pollex equals three-filths of that of the index, and the
phalanx of the 'dew-claw,' instead of terminating short of the distal
end of the next metacarpal ,bone, extends beyond it. This well-
marked character does not arise from any dislocation of the bones of
the pollex or digit of the ' dew-claw,' and it forms another instance
of the affinity of the extinct CEningen Cmiis to the Viverrine group
of FercB, in which all the bones of both fore and hind-feet are more
robust than in the Dogs, and the pollex of the fore-foot is a little
more developed (in Viverra civetta and V. genetta, for example) than
even in the fossil Canis of CEningen.

The tail of the fossil is longer in proportion than in the Dog,
Wolf, or even Jackal, but it is not so long as in the known existing
species of Fox ; the vertebrae are stronger also in proportion to their

length ; this difference is illustrated by the figures of the two most

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
