140 CARNIVORA. 



m7T is not more than two-thirds the size of the lower 

 carnassial of that species. 



Pomel Collection. Purchased, 1851. 



26732. Fragment of the left ramus of the mandible, containing 

 the unworn carnassial, the alveolus of mT2, and the germ 

 of m. 3 in alveolo ; from the Lower Miocene of Allier. 



Pomel Collection. Purchased, 1851. 



30978. Fragment of the right ramus of the mandible, containing 

 ^~2 ', from the Lower Miocene of Allier. 



Bravard Collection. Purchased. 1852. 



NOTE. The specific reference of the following limb-bones must 

 be considered as more or less provisional ; their determination rests 

 mainly on the evidence of specimens figured by Filhol and on 

 Bravard's MS. Catalogue. 



26744. The distal extremity of the right humerus ; from the Lower 

 Miocene of Allier. This specimen is almost of exactly 

 the same size as one figured by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. 

 Geol. vol. x. pi. xiv. fig. 2, under the name of A. lemanensis, 

 var. leptorhynchus. A longer bone, referred by the same 

 writer to the typical race, is figured in the Arch. Mus. 

 Lyon. vol. iii. pi. i. fig. 6. This bone is much larger than 

 the humerus of Canis lupus. 



Pomel Collection. Purchased, 1851. 



30985. The distal portion of the left humerus ; from the Lower 



Miocene of Allier. This specimen is rather larger than 

 No. 26744. Bravard Collection. Purchased, 1852. 



30986. The distal extremity of the left humerus ; from the Lower 



Miocene of Allier. This specimen is the same size as 

 No. 26744. Bravard Collection. Purchased, 1852. 



43992. The right humerus of a young individual, wanting the 

 proximal extremity ; from the Lower Miocene of Langy 

 (Allier), France. Purchased, 1872. 



26734. The right humerus, wanting the proximal extremity, of a 

 small form of Amphicyon ; from the Lower Miocene of 

 Allier. It is doubtful whether this and the preceding 

 specimen should be refered to one of the smaller races or 

 young individuals of A. lemanensis, or to one of the smaller 

 species of the genus. Pomel Collection. Purchased, 1851.
