Hyopotamus porcinus. The first and second left lower true molars; from the 

 Hempstead beds of the Isle of Wight. \. 



distinguished from those of IT. bovinus by their smaller 

 size and much lower cusps ; they are considerably smaller 

 than the teeth from the same locality provisionally re- 

 ferred to Anthracotherium minus (infra, p. 242), but agree 

 very closely in general characters, though the cusps are 

 perhaps slightly higher ; they present no characters by 

 which they can be generically distinguished from Anihra- 

 cotherium. The dimensions of mTl are 0,0136 X 0,0095 ; 

 and those of m72 0,0163 x 0,0114.

36812 C. The third right lower true molar, in an unworn condition 

 and wanting the third lobe ; from the Hempstead beds of 

 the Isle of Wight. Presented by S. Laing, Esq., 1862.

Limb-bones of Anthracotheriida3 from the Hempstead beds of 



the Isle of Wight. 



It is probable that the majority of these bones belong to Hyopo- 

 tamus, and the larger specimens to H. bovinus. In the presence, 

 however, of two genera and several species of AntJiracotheriidce in 

 the Hempstead beds, it appears unadvisable in many cases to make 

 any definite specific references.
