 vol. x. pi. xxiv. figs. 1-4, under the name of Amphictis 

 antiqua. Bravard Collection. Purchased, 1852. 



31058. The left ramus of the mandible of an immature individual,

 Lower Miocene of St. Gerand-le-Puy.

 Hob. France. 



26705. The greater portion of the left ramus of the mandible, 

 showing the alveoli of the canine and pmTl, the other 

 three premolars in a perfect condition, and the alveoli of 

 \ the two true molars; from the Lower Miocene of St. 

 Gerand-le-Puy (Allier), Prance. This specimen differs 

 from the mandible of A. antiqua (No. 31037) by its 

 generally more slender form, by the absence of a distinct 

 interval between p m . 1 and pm72, and the presence of one 

 between pm. 2 and pm. 3. In these respects the specimen 

 appears to agree with Pomel's A. leptorhyncha, of which it 

 is not improbable that the present specimen is the type 2 . 

 In the Zool. et Pal. Frangaises, 2nd ed. p. 223, it is stated 

 that this specimen had been referred by Pomel to the genus 

 Amphicneumon. The length of the space occupied by the 

 six cheek-teeth is 0,039 ; and the second true molar is 

 inserted by two distinct fangs.

M. 1381. The hinder portion of the cranium of a Viverroid, not 

 improbably belonging either to Viverra or Amphictis ; from 

 the Upper Eocene of Caylux (Tarn-et-Garonne), Prance. 

 This specimen is considerably smaller than the cranium of 

 Viverra antiqua figured by Pilhol in the Ann. Sci. Geol. 

 vol. x. pi. xix. Purchased, 1884.

 no specimen referable to this species.
