 The genus Coon has 6 molars, while Ctmis has 7, in the lower jaw. 

 Caon europceiis, n. sp., was larger and had more carnivorous teeth than 

 the recent C. prhncevus of India. C. Edivardsianus, n. sp., from Lunel- 

 Viel, is nearer the recent species Lycorus nemesianus, n. gen. and sp., 

 differs from Cuon in having only 3 premolars. A review of French fossil

Believes the Pleistocene species Cervus Brownii to be identical with 

 C. dama, but thinks it possible that the latter (Fallow Deer) became 

 extinct in N. Europe before the advent of Prehistoric Man, and was 

 reintroduced by the Romans. C. E. De R.

In recent sharks' teeth there is a foramen for the blood-vessel ; and 

 on the opposite side of the tooth there are numerous small holes. If 

 the fossil teeth, when fresh, were similar to these, subsequent friction 

 or partial solution of the tooth may have formed a hole here. All per- 

 forat(.'d teeth are from the upper jaw. W. T.
