4 — The degree of the constriction (in occlusal view) between the protocone and parastyle is considerable. The form of the frontal (mesial) part of tooth is similar to that of the Recent lion. The protocone is slightiy developed while the paracone is strong. The enamel crest running from paracone to protocone is well-developed. The metacone is strongly developed, and the metastyle rises over the metacone. The parastyle is strongly developed. The preparastyle is not present. The teeth are thickened on the buccal side. On the buccal side the margin of enamel rises steeply up toward the metastyle. Table 15 — Measurements of P

3 — The crown does not form a palatal extension below the paracone. The protocone is underdeveloped and it extends strongly to palatal direction. The paracone is developed. The lower rim of the cown is arched in occlusal direction on both the palatal and the buccal side. The teeth have no secondary protostyle. The hypocone is developed. The cingulum is strongly developed on the mesial part, exept the specimen from Igric/Pestere. Table 16 — Measurements of P

The protoconid is strongly developed and leans to distal direction. The hypoconid is medium developed. The cingulum is weakly developed. The paraconid and hypoconid are equally developed, except the specimen from Kiskevély, where the paraconid is greater than the hypoconid. Mi — The paraconid is weU-developed. The mesial edge of paraconid is Uttle arched except the specimen from Kiskevély and Három-kút, where this edge is straight. The protoconid is strongly developed and rises higher than the paraconid. The apex of protoconid leans Table 18 — Measurements of Mi Panthera leo spelaea.
