edition of the same work, 8yo., vol. v. p. 480, both of 
which are referred by Cuvier to the genus Anthracotherium. 
The last molar in the present fossil differs, however, from 
the teeth above cited, in the height of the connecting ridge 
of the anterior pair of points, and in the development of 
the fifth point, not from a third posterior lobe, but from the 
apex of the angular ridge connecting the posterior pair of 
points. The typical Anthracotherium, of which part of the 
lower jaw from the lignite beds of Liguria is figured by 
Cuvier, in the ‘ Ossemens Fossiles, 1822, tom. iii. pl. xxx. 
fig. 2, differs from the fossil under consideration, in the deep 
cleft dividing the anterior pair of tubercles; and in the 
great development of the bifid posterior, or third lobe of 
the last molar tooth. In the posterior part of the penulti- 
mate tooth of the present fossil, it is easy to perceive that 
the tubercle corresponding with the inner one of the poste- 
rior pair in the last molar is obsolete, and represented by 
a minute eminence near the base of the crown; whilst the 
tubercle answering to the fifth in the last molar is more 
elevated, and is nearer the inner side, and the ridge from 
the outer tubercle terminates there. It is also obvious 
from the breadth of the fractured part of the anterior fang 
of the penultimate molar, that its antero-posterior dia- 
meter must have more nearly equalled that of the last 
molar than in the Lophiodons. 
The second and third molars of the lower jaw of the 
‘grand Lophiodon de Buchsweiler, resemble the last 
molar of the present fossil, in having the anterior trans- 
verse ridge more elevated than the posterior one; but in 
the fourth molar they are of equal height, (Cuvier, ‘ Ossem- 
ens Fossiles,’ loc. cit. p. 202, pl. vii. fig. 1.) The British 
Tapiroid fully equalled in size that of Buchsweiler, and the 
fossil in question belonged to a full-grown but not aged
