canines are unusually long and slender, the upper ones strongly impressed with the two longi- 

 tudinal grooves on both the outer and inner sides, and the lower ones with a single groove on 

 the outer side. There is no trace of the small anterior premolar, p 2, or its socket, in the 

 upper jaw, so that the molar series is the same in number and kind both above and below. 



The animal is said to have been killed at ' Casir,' North Africa.
