14618. Fragment of the left ramus of the mandible, showing p^T2 

 and pm. 3, in a well-worn condition ; from the Pliocene of 

 the Siwalik Hills. Cautley Collection. Presented, 1842. 



15917. Fragment of the left ramus of the mandible, showing ^72 

 and pm. 3, in a partially worn condition ; from the Pliocene 

 of the Siwalik Hills. Cautley Collection. Presented, 1842. 



Hyaena macrostoma, Lydekker 1 . 



In this species, which is apparently closely allied to the Pikermi 

 H. choeretis, the first lower premolar is present, and it is highly 

 probable that m72 was likewise present. The cheek-teeth and 

 cranium exhibit many well-marked canoid and viverroid characters. 

 Since describing this species in the ' Palreontologia Indica,' the 

 writer has noticed that H. chceretis, Gaudry, has been referred by 

 Hensel, in the Monatsb. k. preuss. Ak. Wiss. 1862 (volume for 1863), 

 p. 567, to a distinct genus, under the name of Lycy&na. The pre- 

 sent species would likewise belong to the same genus ; but the writer 

 being strongly opposed to the multiplication of generic terms, prefers 

 to continue to class it with Hycena and to abolish the term Lycycena.
