This species, as already remarked, has 

 some resemblance to the FeUdcc in its very short 

 face, and large sectorial tooth. It clearly does 

 not closely approach any of the species of the 

 Nimravidoi of contemporary age. A principal 

 peculiarity is the large size of the tubercular 

 molar. Such also is the robust form of the 

 second and third premolars. These resemble 

 somewhat those of Enhjdrocijon stenocephalus^ 

 but are not so much compressed. They resem- 

 ble those of the species of JElurodon more than 

 those of any other carnivore.
