146 CAKNIVORA. 



of Gulo diaphorus. There are four premolars, two of 

 which have fallen from their alveoli. 



Ennislcillen Collection. Purchased, 1882. 



37355. Cast of part of the right ramus of the mandible, containing 

 the broken canine, the alveolus of pm . 1 (so determined 

 from the last specimen), the last premolar, the carnassial, 

 and the alveolus of m. 2. The original is from the Lower 

 Pliocene of Pikermi, Attica, and is in the Munich Museum ; 

 it is figured by Koth and Wagner in the Abh. Math.-phys. 

 Cl.k.-bay. Ak. Wiss. vol. vii. pt. 2, pi. vii. figs. 1, 2, under 

 the name of Gulo primigenius. There are no signs of 

 p m . 2 and pm. 3 in this specimen, which agrees in this 

 respect with the mandible figured by Gaudry in the ' Ani- 

 maux Fossiles et Geologic de 1'Attique/ pi. vi. figs. 1, 2, 

 under the name of Metarctos diaphorus ; the reference of 

 this form to the same species as the Eppelsheim jaw being 

 apparently somewhat provisional. In the Pikermi form 

 the last premolar is larger than in the Eppelsheim, but 

 in other respects the two are precisely similar in the form 

 of the jaw and teeth. Purchased, 1863. 



49675. Casts of the associated cranium and mandible. The originals 

 of these specimens are from the Lower Pliocene of Pikermi 

 and are preserved in the Munich Museum. They are 

 figured by Wagner in the Abh. Math.-phys. Cl. k.-bay. Ak. 

 Wiss. vol. viii. pi. vi. fig. 13, as Pseudocyon robustus. The 

 cranium shows the incisors and the canine : behind the 

 latter there is a small tooth which, judging from the 

 analogy of the lower jaw, should probably be regarded as 

 P m - * ; there is a small interval, without any trace of 

 alveoli, between this tooth and the carnassial, the latter 

 being followed by the two true molars. The mandible 

 shows the incisors and the canine, and contains p m . 4, m. 1, 

 and mT2. There is no trace of the alveolus of pm . 1, which 

 is present in No. 37355. 



The retention of the first premolar in both jaws, after 

 the disappearance of the second and third teeth in both 

 jaws, is analogous to the condition prevailing in Ursus 

 and ffyanarctos. Purchased, 1879.
