shoulder. The black tipped hairs build two cross-stripes, one from shoulder to shoulder slight banded the neck, the other from should sr to fore-leg. The dorsal area from the light shoulder-cross-stripe to the basal half of the tail more blackish, the black washed to the middle of the sides; the terminal half of the tail much more blackish, the end of pencil clear black. The coarse overhairs are on the base slaty gray, afterwards straw-coloured, presently foxred and the tip is (where blackish the fur) black; the black and foxred are in correlation, the black may lacking, the foxred never; as soon as the black tip is longer, the foxred part of the hairshaft become narrower. Skull. The skull is much greater than that of Canis aureus aureus. Condylobasal length more than 158 mm; zygomatic breadth (95'4 mm), mastoid breadth (57 mm), and palatal depth behind toothrows very conspicuous. Teeth. While agreeing with those of Canis aureus aureus in general form and in the position of the cusps, the teeth are relatively stronger and larger. Maxillary tooth-row 69'7 mm, mandibular toothrow 78*8 mm. Measurements. Type (adult male) from Tyúkod, Comitat Szatmár: head and body, 1050 mm; tail, 240 mm; ear, 65 mm; weight, 13 kg (by shooting!). — One female(?) from Debrő, Comitat Heves: head and body, 920 mm; tail, 240 mm; ear, 65 mm; (very old preparation).
