34211. Part of the left ramus of the mandible, containing the 

 last five cheek-teeth ; from the Lower Miocene of Allier. 

 Bravard Collection. Purchased, 1852. 



27599. Fragment of the right maxilla, containing the three true 

 molars in a well-worn condition, not improbably belonging 

 to the present species ; from the Lower Miocene of Puy- 

 de-D6me, France. The teeth in this specimen are slightly 

 smaller than those of A. elegans, and agree with the 

 dimensions given by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. xi. 

 art. 1, p. 59. Croizel Collection. Purchased, 1848. 



27597. Fragment of a right maxilla, containing pm. 4, m. 1, and m. 2 ; 

 not improbably belonging to the present species ; from 

 the Lower Miocene of Eonzon, near Puy-en-Velay (Haute 

 Loire), France. Croizet Collection. Purchased, 1848.

Riitimeyer, in the ' Natiirliche Geschichte der Hirsche ' (Abh. 

 schweiz. pal. Ges. 1883), part 2, p. 91, identifies P. minor and P. 

 pygmceus with P. medius, and records the species from several Ger- 

 man localities, from Switzerland, and from La Grive St. Alban 

 (Isere), France. He gives the length of the three lower true molars 

 as 0,023-0,030, and that of mTS as 0,011-0,012. The present 

 writer has been totally unable to distinguish German specimens of 

 P. medius from French specimens of Amphitragulus boulangeri, 

 which apparently passes into the so-called A. pomeli ; and he has 

 therefore provisionally included all the above-mentioned forms under 

 one species. As all Meyer's species were published without any 

 satisfactory description, he has adopted Pomel's name. In the 

 absence of complete crania it appears impossible to say whether the

within Rutimeyer's limite) as given by Filhol are as follows, viz. :
