Genus CEPHALOGALE, Jourdan l .

 Hob. Prance. 



26739. Part of the right maxilla, containing the carnassial and 

 the first true molar ; from the Lower Miocene of Allier, 

 France. This specimen is referred to the present species 

 on the authority of Filhol (Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. x. art. 3, 

 pp. 117, 118): it agrees in size with the corresponding 

 part of the type cranium (op. tit. pL xvii.), but the inner 

 tubercle of the carnassial appears somewhat smaller.

Hob. Europe. 



This species is referred to Cephalogale by Filhol, in the Ann. Sci. 

 Geol. vol. x. art. 3, p. 119 (1879) ; the reasons for uniting with it 

 C. minor are given below 5 . Filhol (Ann. Soc. Sci. Phys. Nat. 

 Toulouse, 1882, p. 37) has recorded his C. minor both from the 

 Lower Miocene of Allier and the Upper Eocene of Tarn-et-Garonne. 



31004. The greater portion of the left ramus of the mandible, con- 

 taining the canine and all the cheek-teeth except pm . l 

 and m. 3, which have fallen from their sockets ; from the 

 Lower Miocene of Allier, France. This specimen seems 

 precisely similar to the one figured by De Blainville 

 (' Osteographie,' genus Canis, pi. xiii.) under the name of 

 Canis brevirostris, and is intermediate in size between the 



1 Bull. Soc. Sav. 1862 (teste Filhol). 



2 Ibid. The species is described and figured by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. Geol. 

 vol. x. art. 3, p. 107, pL xvii. (1879). 



3 Gervais and Bronn give the reference for the specific name as Bull. Soc. 

 Geol. France, ser. 1, vol. iv. p. 25 ; but it does not occur there. 



4 Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. x. art. 3, p. 118 (1879). 



5 In the ' Palzeontologia Indica,' ser. 10, vol. ii. p. 247, the species is given 

 as an Amphicyon, the writer not having then noticed Filhol's redetermination.
