 (Fig.) all the anterior teeth and the first six true molars ; from 



the Middle Purbeck group of Durdlestone Bay, Swanage, 

 Dorsetshire. This specimen is the type, and is figured by 

 Owen in his ' Mesozoic Mammalia ' (Mon. Pal. Soc.), pi. ii. 

 fig. 1. Owen considers that, there should be a seventh 

 tooth behind the sixth true molar.

 (Fig.} six true molars ; from the Middle Purbeck group of 

 Durdlestone Bay, Swanage, Dorsetshire. This specimen 

 is the type, and is figured by Owen in his ' Mesozoic 

 Mammalia ' (Mon. Pal. Soc.), pi. ii. fig. 9, under the generic 

 name of Peraspalax, of which it is the type.

Amblotherium mustelula, Owen 3 . 



Syn. Peralestes (Phascolestes) longirostris, Owen 4 (in parte) . 



Of considerably larger size than A. soncinum, and furnished 

 with eight lower true molars, which apparently had no inner cusp. 

 There appears no characters by which the mandible figured by Owen 

 under the name of Peralestes (Phascolestes) longirostris can be dis- 

 tinguished from the type specimen of the present species.

 (Fig.} most of the cheek-teeth in a mutilated condition ; from

 Owen in his ' Mesozoic Mammalia ' (Mon. Pal. Soc.), pi. ii. 

 fig. 2. Beckles Collection. Purchased, 1876.
