Eocene of Apt (Vaucluse), France. This specimen appears 

 to agree precisely with the last specimen ; it is entered in 

 the Museum Eegister as G. angustidens, Pomel and Bra- 

 vard. The present writer is unaware whether that name is 

 merely a manuscript one, or whether it occurs in the memoir 

 by those writers already mentioned under the head of the 

 genus Cynodictis (p. 107) : if the latter should be the case, 

 the name angustidens has the priority over compressidens.

M. 1653. Two fragments of the mandible ; from the Upper Eocene 

 of Bach, near Lalbenque (Lot), France. One specimen 

 shows the three true molars, and the other the last pre- 

 molar, the carnassial, and the alveoli of m72 and m . 3-

Var. viverroides, Filhol J . 



M. 1359. The greater portion of the left ramus of the mandible, 

 containing all the cheek-teeth, and part of the alveolus 

 of the canine ; from the Upper Eocene of Caylux (Tarn-et- 

 Garonne), France. This specimen, which is figured in 

 the accompanying woodcut (fig. 16), differs from the man- 

 Fig. 16. 



Cynodictis compressidens, var. viverroides, Filhol. Part of the left ramus of 

 the mandible ; from the Upper Eocene of Caylux. j. 



dible of the type form by its slightly inferior size, by the 

 absence of m73, and by the slightly more backward posi- 

 tion of the inner cusp of mTT, and in these respects agrees 

 perfectly with the type mandible of the variety described 

 by Filhol. This jaw presents a marked resemblance to 

 that of Herpestes, but is distinguished by the relatively 

 larger size of in72 and of the hinder lobe of the blade of 

 m~l ; in the form of m72 it comes very close to Amphictis.
