82 CAKNIVORA. 



represents another cranium, with the mandible attached, 

 belonging to the present species, which was obtained by 

 Messrs. Baker and Durand from the Siwalik Hills, and is 

 now preserved in the Museum of Science and Art, Dublin. 

 This specimen is described and figured by the present 

 writer in the ' Palseontologia Indica,' ser. 10, vol. ii. 

 pp. 282-5. The teeth are but little worn, and show that 

 the diastema was short, and that ^Tl had large fore-and- 

 aft talons ; the first upper premolar is present in this 

 specimen. Cautley Collection. Presented, 1842. 



37138. Fragment of the right maxilla, containing the last three 

 (Fig.) premolars and the broken base of a minute m. 1 ; from the 

 Pliocene of the Siwalik Hills. The greater part of the 

 crown of the carnassial is broken away, and the other 

 teeth are in a middle condition of wear. This specimen 

 is figured by Falconer and Cautley in the ' Fauna Antiqua 

 Sivalensis,' pi. L. fig. 8 ; and is described and figured by 

 the present writer in the ' Palaeontologia Indica,' ser. 10, 

 vol. ii. p. 283, pi. xxxv. A. fig. 2. It is referred to the 

 present species on account of its precise resemblance to the 

 corresponding portion of the Dublin skull ; and from being 

 the only specimen exhibiting the inner sides of the 

 undamaged teeth, has been taken as the type specimen 

 of the teeth. The second premolar is relatively long 

 and narrow, and pm. 3 has a relatively low crown with an 

 extremely convex external vertical contour.

M. 1549. Cast of the left ramus of the mandible of a sub-adult indi- 

 vidual, showing the canine (not fully protruded) and the 

 four cheek-teeth. The original of this specimen is from 

 the Siwaliks of the Punjab, and is in the Indian Mu- 

 seum, Calcutta ; it is described and figured by the present 

 writer in the ' Palaeontologia Indica,' ser. 10, vol. ii. p. 285, 

 pis. xxxvii.-ix. fig. 1. It is referred to the present 

 species from its large size and its agreement with the 

 Dublin skull, especially in the presence of large fore-and- 

 aft talons to pm. 4 ; the preceding tooth exhibits a highly 

 convex external vertical contour. Purchased, 1884. 



16565. Hinder portion of the right ramus of the mandible, showing
