except pm. 1 ; from the Upper Eocene of Caylux (Tarn-et- 

 Garonne), France. There is no trace of mTs (of which a 

 minute alveolus exists in the type specimen figured by 

 Filhol, op. cit. fig. 13) ; but in all other respects the two 

 specimens are precisely similar, with the exception that 

 the present specimen (woodcut, fig. 17) is slightly larger.

Cynodictis dubia, Filhol, var. Part of the right ramus of the mandible ; 

 from the Upper Eocene of Caylux. |. 



There do not seem any points by which the present speci- 

 men can be distinguished from the mandible of Viverra 

 leptorhyncha, Filhol (Arch. Mus. Lyon, vol. iii. pi. iv. 

 figs. 16, 17), in which only the last two teeth remain. 

 The present form seems to be one of those generalized 

 species of which the generic position is extremely doubtful.

This is a smaller species than the last, with the crown of the 

 lower cheek-teeth slightly taller, but otherwise very similar. The 

 last lower true molar is absent in one race.

M. 1658. Part of the left ramus of the mandible, containing the 

 canine, the alveoli of the first three premolars, the fourth 

 premolar, the carnassial, and the alveoli of m . 2 and mTs, 

 the latter very minute ; from the Upper Eocene of Bach, 

 near Lalbenque (Lot), France. This specimen agrees very 

 closely with the type mandible figured by Filhol in the 

 Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. vii. pi. xxi. figs. 73, 74.
