extent, chiefly inwards. The coronoid process is high and 

 wide, and is turned backwards so as to vertically overhang 

 the condyle. Its anterior border is wide below, and becomes 

 horizontal above. 



The teeth partake of the robust character of the skull, witli 

 the exception of the incisors. Of these the crowns of the 

 external are long and narrow and the median small in the 

 premaxillaries, while those of the lower jaw are all small. 

 The canines in both jaws are quite robust ; and those of the 

 lower jaw are rather abruptly recurved. The first premolar 

 is small, and has a simple crown and single root. The crowns 

 of the other premolars are wide at the base, and form each a 

 simple cone, with a short posterior basal heel. The upper 

 sectorial is relatively not long, but is robust, and with thick 

 blades. The internal heel is well developed, as in Cants, 

 while a cingulum represents an anterior lobe. The tubercular 

 molar is narrower in fore-and-aft diameter than in Temnocyon 

 coryphaeus or Cams latrans, although it presents the same 

 details : these are a wide obtuse external cingulum, two 

 external tubercles, a median obtuse tubercle, and a wide 

 internal cingulum. The premolars of the lower jaw are 

 similar to those of the maxillary bone. The inferior sectorial 

 is quite robust, and the internal cusp is well developed ; the 

 heel is shorter than the blades of the crown, and is wide and 

 without tubercles in its somewhat worn condition ; its ex- 

 ternal border rises to an edge. The tubercular is wider than 

 the corresponding tooth in the contemporary species of Canidas, 

 although not so wide as long ; its crown rises in two low 

 tubercles which stand transversely near the middle.
