Hyaena perrieri, Croizet and Jobert '. 



In this form the lower carnassial has a large talon, but no inner 

 tubercle ; the upper true molar is of medium size. It is probable 

 that it is closely related to H. crocuta, of which it has been con- 

 sidered merely a variety.

27654. The germ of the left lower carnassial tooth ; from the Upper 



(Fig.) Pliocene of Mt.Perrier, near Issoire, (Puy-de-D6me), France. 



This tooth is about the size of the corresponding tooth of 



a small individual of H. crocuta, but has a relatively larger 



talon, bearing two cusps, which are more developed than 



in that species. The specimen is figured by Croizet and 



Jobert in the Oss. Fpss. du Puy-de-D6me,vol.i. pi. iv.fig. 3.

27650. Fragment of the right ramus of the mandible of a young 

 Hyaena, probably belonging to the present species ; from 

 the Upper Pliocene of Arde, near Issoire. This specimen 

 shows the three milk-molars and the germ of the per- 

 manent canine. The second and third milk-molars are 

 longer in proportion to the length of the milk-carnassial 

 than in H. crocuta ; there is no inner tubercle to mm. 4. 

 This specimen and the last appear to indicate that the 

 present form is distinct from H. crocuta.
