Cynodictis longirostris, Filhol \ 



This species has heen hitherto known only by the mandible, which 

 is of an elongated form, and indicates a medium-sized species. The 

 crown of the lower carnassial is comparatively low. 

 Hob. France. 



M. 1665. Fragment of the right ramus of the mandible, containing 

 m. 2 and the alveolus of m . 3, apparently belonging to this 

 species ; from the Upper Eocene of Bach, near Lalbenque 

 (Lot), France. Purchased, 1884. 



M. 1666. Anterior portion of the cranium of a Cynodictis ; from 

 (Fig.) the Upper Eocene of Bach. This specimen, of which the 

 left half is figured, from the palatal aspect, in the accom- 

 panying woodcut (fig. 15), differs from the crania of any 



Fig. 15.

species figured by Filhol. It agrees so well with the man- 

 dible of 0. longirostris in size and general character that 

 it may not improbably belong to that species, although, 

 from the number of species of the genus described on the 

 1 Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. iii. art. 7, p. 24 (1872).
