The average length of three Lions, measured in skeleton, was 5 feet inches from the nose to the ischium. The average height at shoulder of nine Lions was inches. A large skeleton, known as ‘Cuvier’s Lion,’ measured by De Blainville, gives an approximate height at the shoulder when alive of inches.

In estimating the height of the animal from the skeleton, take five-sixths of the sum of length of scapula, length of humerus, length of radius, and distance from wrist-joint to the ground.

In its proportions the Lion differs from the true Cats, and approximates rather to the Dog form, as will be seen on comparing the Plates XXIV. and XXVII. In brief :—

A Dog goes in a square of 3 heads.

A Lion goes in a rectangle of heads in height by 3 heads in length.

A Cat goes in a rectangle of heads in height by heads in length.
