118 CABNIVOBA. 



trace of nT3; from the Upper Eocene of Bach. This 

 specimen appears to agree very closely with the one figured 

 by Filhol in the Ann. Soc. Sci. Phys. Nat. Toulouse, 1882, 

 pi. vi. figs. 3, 4. Purchased, 1884. 



M. 1376. Part of the right ramus of the mandible, containing the 

 two last premolars, the carnassial, and mT2, with no trace 

 of m73 ; from the Upper Eocene of Caylux (Tarn-et- 

 Garonne), France. This specimen agrees precisely with 

 the last. Purchased, 1884. 



M. 1367- Part of the left ramus of the mandible, containing the 

 four premolars ; from the Upper Eocene of Caylux. In 

 this and the next specimen it is impossible to say whether 

 m. 3 was present. Purchased, 1884. 



M. 1657. Part of the left ramus of the mandible, containing the 

 last three premolars and the carnassial ; from the Upper 

 Eocene of Caylux. Purchased, 1884. 



Cynodictis, sp. 

 Hab. France. 



M. 1659. Fragment of the right ramus of the mandible, of smaller 

 size than any of those referred to the last species, but 

 agreeing in general characters, and wanting niTs ; from 

 the Upper Eocene of Bach, near Lalbenque (Lot), France. 

 It is not improbable that this specimen may belong to a 

 small race of G. leptorhyncha. Purchased, 1884. 



Cynodictis (?), sp. 

 Hob. France. 



M. 1354. Part of the left ramus of the mandible, showing the 

 second and fourth premolars, and the three true molars, 

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

 France. This specimen appears to come nearest in form 

 to Cynodictis leptorhyncha but is readily distinguished 

 by its much shorter form, and the lower crown of the 

 carnassial, which is lower than that of ^71. The inner 

 cusp of in7l is strongly developed and very distinct, and 

 the talon short and wide ; there is a cusp on the posterior 

 border of p m . 4. These characters distinguish the speci- 

 men from Cynodon. In Amphicynodon, Filhol \ there is 

 a similar cusp to pm . 4, but the ascending ramus of the
