136 CARNIVORA. 



Trans. Geol. Soc. vol. iii. p. 277, pis. xxxiii.-iv., under 

 the name of Cards vulpes. It was subsequently described 

 and figured by H. von Meyer in the ' Fauna der Vorwelt,' 

 pt. i. p. 4, pi. i. (1845), under the name of Canis palustris, 

 and finally by Owen (loc. cit.) under the name of Galecynus 

 ceningensis. Huxley has shown in the Proc. Zool. Soc. 

 1880, p. 280, that there seems no valid reason why it 

 should be separated generically from Canis. 



Presented by Sir R. I. Murchison, Bart., K.G.B., 1852. 



Canis ?, sp. 

 Hab. France. 



M. 1708. Three humeri, about equal in size to the humerus of 

 Canis aureus ; from the Upper Eocene of Bach, near Lal- 

 benque (Lot), France. These bones differ from the humerus 

 of Cynodictis, Cephalogale, and. Amphicyon in the absence of 

 an entepicondylar foramen, and thereby agree with Canis. 

 They probably indicate the existence of a species of 

 that genus in the phosphorites, and would therefore seem 

 to confirm the generic reference of the so-called Canis 

 filholi and C. cadurcensis. Purchased, 1884. 



M. 1709. Four specimens of the femur, agreeing fairly well in 

 relative size with the last specimen, and coming from 

 the same locality. They may possibly belong to the same 

 species. Purchased, 1884. 



Genus AMPHICYON, Lartet 1 . 

 Syn. Agnotherlum, Kaup (inpartt). 

 Cynelos, Jourdan (MS.). 

 Pseudocyon, Lartet. 



Dentition : I. \, C. [, Pm. |, M. f . 



Amphicyon giganteus, LauriUard 2 . 

 Syn. Canis tfune taille gigantesque, Cuvier. 



This is the largest species of the genus. 

 Hab. Europe. 



1 Comptes Rendus, vol. v. p. 424 (1837). The name Agnofherium was 

 applied by Kaup (Oss. Foss. de Darmstadt, pt. ii.) in 1833, and has there- 

 fore the priority over Amphicyon ; but the latter has obtained universal accep- 

 tation.
