Anoplotherium secundarium, Cuvier ' . 



Syn. ? Anoplotherium laurttlardi, Pomel 2 . 



Cuvier originally described this species on the evidence of part of 

 the upper milk-molar dentition 3 , showing that it was " de grandeur 

 un peu inferieure " to A. commune ; but in a subsequent notice 

 defined the latter as being of the size of an ass, and the former as 

 that of a boar. The comparatively large size of the type milk-molars 

 indicates the probability of the present form corresponding to A. 

 secundarium rather than the next. The true molars are of a hypsodont 

 type, and can only be distinguished from those of A. commune by 

 their inferior size. In the case of detached lower teeth the distinc- 

 tion is very difficult.

20605. The left maxilla, containing all the teeth except the canine ; 

 from the Upper Eocene of Debruge, near Apt (Yaucluse), 

 France. The length of the space occupied by the seven 

 cheek-teeth is 0,133, that by the three true molars 0,072, 

 and that by m. 1 and m. 2 0,044.
