Hyaena sinensis, Owen 1 . 



ffab China. 



It has been suggested by the present writer, in the ' Pateontologia 

 Indica,' ser. 10, vol. ii. pp. 288-9, that this species is not improbably 

 the same as the Siwalik H. felina. The species is described solely 

 upon the evidence of the three teeth mentioned below, all of which 

 were obtained from a cave in the province of Sechuen (Sez-chuen), 

 N.W. China, near the city of Chung-king-foo. 



41937. The third right upper premolar. This specimen is figured 

 (Fig.) by Owen in the Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xxvi. 



pi. xxviii. figs. 5, 6. 



Purchased from R. Swinhoe, Esq., 1870. 



41938. The third right lower premolar. This specimen is figured 

 (Fig.) by Owen, op. cit. pi. xxviii. fig 7.

Hyaena felina, Bose 2 . 

 Syn. Hycena sivalensis, Falconer and Cautley (in parte). 



The dentition of this species is of the general type of that of 

 H. crocuta, m. 1 being of small size. The first upper premolar is 

 absent in some instances. 



Hab. India. 



15902. Cranium of a very old individual, with the teeth much worn 

 (Fig.) and battered; from the Pliocene of the Siwalik Hills, 

 India. The alveolus of a minute m. 1 may be seen on the 

 right side : pm. 1 is absent. This specimen, which is the 

 type of the species, is figured by Falconer and Cautley in 

 the ' Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,' pi. K. 3 figs. 1, 1 a, 1 6, 1 c ; 

 but it wanted at that time the left half of the palate, 

 which has been subsequently added ; it is also described 

 and figured by Bose in the Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. 

 vol. xxxvi. p. 130, pi. vi. fig. 6, and is described by the 

 present writer in the ' Palseontologia Indica ' in the pas- 

 sage cited below. The accompanying woodcut (fig. 7)
