Herpestes lemanensis, Fomel ' . 

 Syn. (?) Herpestes primcevus, Pomel 2 . 



The specimens referred to this species vary considerably in size, 

 the larger ones indicating an animal fully equal in size to Viverra 

 zibeiha. The general structure of the mandible and teeth agrees 

 very closely with that of H. griseus, but the ramus is somewhat 

 deeper and more convex inferiorly ; the cranium is unknown. The 

 species may have been allied to some of the larger African forms. 



Hob. Europe. 



M. 2380. Hinder portion of the right ramus of the mandible, 

 showing niTl and m . 2; from the Lower Miocene (Upper 

 Oligocene) of St. Gerand-le-Puy (Allier), France. Similar 

 specimens are figured by Filhol in the ' Ann. Sci. Geol.' 

 vol. x. pi. xxiii. ; m . 2 has one root. Purchased, 1885. 



M. 2381. The greater part of the right ramus of the mandible of a 

 smaller individual, showing all the cheek-teeth or their 

 alveoli ; from St. Gerand-le-Puy. The alveolus of mT2 is 

 double. Purchased, 1885.
