MTOXID^. 



This specimen appears to agree precisely with the spe- 

 cimens figured by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. x. 

 pi. ii. figs. 3-6. The space occupied by the four cheek- 

 teeth measures 0,004, or the same as in one of Filhol's 

 specimens. The corresponding space in the mandible 

 described by Schlosser as M. primcevus measures 0,0046. 



Purchased, 1884.

 Lower Miocene of Puy-de-Dome 1 . The space occupied by 

 the four cheek-teeth is 0,0036.

Myoxus, sp. 



This species is smaller than M. melitensis, and is also distinguished 

 by the perforation of the mandible, in which respect it agrees with 

 the group Ellobius. The specimens are too imperfect for specific 

 determination.
