Miocene of Allier. This specimen agrees precisely with 

 the complete mandible figured by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. 

 Geol. vol. xi. pi. xii. fig. 5. The length of the diastema 

 is 0,040, and that of the space occupied by the six cheek- 

 teeth 0,070. Pomel Collection. Purchased, 1851. 



34004. Part of the right ramus of the mandible, showing the last 

 four cheek-teeth ; from the Lower Miocene of Allier.

Palaeomeryx flourensianus (Lartet 1 ). 



Syn. Micromeryxjlourensianus, Lartet 2 . 



This is the smallest species of the genus, being about the size of 

 the larger existing species of Tragulus. The teeth are rather more 

 hypsodont than those of the preceding species ; the length of the 

 space occupied by the three upper true molars is 0,022, the length 

 of m. 3 being 0,008-9. There are four lower premolars. Riitimeyer 

 records the species from Sansan, Steinheim, and Wurtemberg. The 

 molars are readily distinguished from those of Tragulus by their 

 brachydont structure. 



Hob. Europe. 



30497 a. Numerous detached cheek-teeth ; from the Lower Mio- 

 cene of Weissenau near Mayence, Hesse Darmstadt. These 

 specimens agree precisely with those figured by Fraas 

 in the ' Fauna von Steinheim,' pi. viii. figs. 18, 19.

Genus AMPHITRAGULUS, Pomel 3 . 



Syn. Tragulotheriurnj Croizet, MS. 

 Elaphotherium, Croizet, MS. 



The close resemblance of the dentition of this genus to that of 

 Pal&omeryx has been alluded to under the head of that genus. All 

 the species are unprovided with antlers ; and the dental formula is 

 the same as in Palceomeryx, with the exception that there are four 

 lower premolars. 



Amphitragulus elegans, Pomel 4 . 



This species is smaller than Palceomeryx farcatus, the length of 

 mT3 being 0,015 to 0,016 ; the diastema in the mandible is com- 

 paratively short, the penultimate upper premolar relatively wide,
