During the same year, exclusive of those on the Cetacea, several papers were published by Flower in various scientific serials. Among these, bare mention must suffice for one, “On the Connexion of the Hyoid Arch with the Cranium,” which appeared in the twentieth volume of the _Report_ of the British Association. More important is the article “On the Correspondence between the parts composing the Shoulder and the Pelvic Girdle of the Mammalia.” In this the author pointed out that although the homology between the scapula in the shoulder-girdle and the ilium in the pelvis had long been admitted by naturalists, yet much misconception existed with regard to the exact correspondence between the respective surfaces and borders of these bones; and he then proceeded to define and describe these correspondences in considerable detail. The names then assigned by Flower to the component surfaces and borders of the bones in question have ever since been generally adapted by naturalists. Observations were also recorded with regard to the homology between the coracoid bone and the ischium. A second paper in the same journal for 1870 dealt with the carpus of the dog; while in 1873 he published in this medium a note on the same part of the skeleton in the sloths. Reverting once more to the _Proceedings_ of the Zoological Society, in which the bulk of his contributions to the anatomy of mammals was published, we find a paper by Flower in the volume for 1870 on the anatomy of the Himalayan panda (_Ælurus fulgens_.) The specimen on which the paper was based was the first example of this remarkable animal which had ever been dissected; and the brain and viscera were described at considerable length. The result of the dissection was to confirm the author’s previous opinion—based on the external characters and skeleton—as to the near affinity of _Ælurus_ to the American _Procyonidæ_; and it was left somewhat an open question, whether it should be included in that group, or regarded as the representative of a family (_Æluridæ_) by itself. In after years Mr. W. T. Blanford adopted the former view. In the following year (1871) Flower contributed a note to the _Proceedings_, recording the occurrence of a specimen of the ringed seal (_Phoca hispida_) on the Norfolk coast in 1846; and he also wrote a paper in the same volume on the skeleton of one of the cassowaries. The somewhat remarkable fact that the two-spotted palm-civet (_Nandinia binotata_) differs from the other genera of the same group by the absence of a blind appendage, or cæcum, to the intestine, was recorded by Flower in the same serial for 1872.
