jaw is nearly vertical, whereas it is oblique in the present 

 specimen. It appears, on the whole, that the latter 

 should probably be referred to the genus Cynodictis ; and 

 the lowness of t"he crown of the carnassial indicates that 

 it is one of the least specialized forms. Purchased, 1884.

M. 1696. Three humeri, probably belonging to a medium-sized 

 species. These bones agree with a specimen figured by 

 Filhol in the Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. iii. pi. xviii. fig. 44, and 

 provisionally referred to C. compressidens. 



M. 1382. Three humeri, slightly smaller than the last. 



M. 1697. Pour humeri, considerably smaller than the last; and 

 slightly larger than a specimen figured by Filhol (op. cit. 

 fig. 45), and suggested to belong to Viverra. 



M. 1384. A right humerus, considerably smaller than the last. 

 This specimen is precisely similar to one figured by 

 Filhol (op. cit. fig. 46). This and the preceding specimens 

 have a well-developed entepicondylar foramen. 



M. 1698. Seven ulnae, of various sizes. 

 M. 1699. Five radii, of various sizes.
