Abstract

The study of the masticating muscles of ruminants has been rather neglected. Two specimens (skinned head and skull) allowed for the study of the shape of the masticating muscles and their tendinous skeleton. The masseter conformed fairly well to the normal bovid type, the other three muscles very much less so. The outer ear has a special supporting osseous process.
