Plesictis palustris, Pomel l . 

 Syn. P. ekgans, Pomel (var.). 

 P. genetoides, Pomel (var.). 



Hob. France. 



31024. The hinder portion of the cranium, exhibiting the third 



and fourth premolars of the left side ; from the Lower 

 Miocene of St. Gerand-le-Puy (Allier), Prance. This 

 specimen appears almost identical with a cranium, from 

 the same locality, figured by Pilhol in the Ann. Sci. 

 Geol. vol. x. pi. xx. figs. 8-10 ; the only difference 

 between the two being that the temporal ridges are more 

 widely separated in the present specimen ; these differences, 

 are, however, probably due to differences in age. 



Bravard Collection. Purchased, 1852. 



31025. Fragment of the right maxilla, containing the carnassial and 



the alveolus of TO- 1; from the Lower Miocene of St. Gerand- 

 le-Puy. Bravard Collection. Purchased, 1852. 



24943. The greater portion of the right ramus of the mandible, 

 containing pm. 4 and m. 1, and the alveoli of the other 

 cheek-teeth and canine ; from the Lower Miocene of St. 

 Gerand-le-Puy. This specimen appears to be precisely 

 similar to a left ramus figured by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. 

 Geol. vol. x. pi. xxii. fig. 2. 



Presented by Talbot, Esq., 1849. 



Plesictis croizeti, Pomel 2 . 

 Syn. ? P. robusta, Pomel. 

 ? P. gracilis, Pomel. 



Sab. France. 



This species was originally described in 1846 by Pomel, on the 

 evidence of the mandible catalogued below (No. 26702). Filhol 

 unites, in the Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. x. art. 3, p. 124 et seq., this 

 species with P. robusta and P. gracilis, taking P. robusta as the 

 name of the species. As, however, those names were not published 

 tiU 1853 (' Catalogue Methodique,' p. 60), it is evident that the 



1 Catalogue Methodique, p. 62 (1853). See also Filhol, Ann. Sci. Geol. 

 rol. x. art. 3, p. 144 et seq., on whose authority the synonymy is given 

 a Bull. Soc. Ge-ol. France, ser. 2, yol. iy. p. 385 (1846).
