CARNIVORA. 17 



deposit ; it has, however, been met with in British and European 

 Cave-earth and other Pleistocene beds. The species is now living 

 in North America. 



URSUS SPELjEUS, ROSENMULLER.

 (Vert. Forest Bed, p. 5. PLATK L, FIGS. 1-14.) 



The remains of Ursus spclceus are not uncommon in the dif- 

 ferent divisions of the Forest-bed Series in Norfolk and Suffolk, 

 as well as in British and European Caves, but it has not been met 

 with in any Crag deposit. 



CARNIVORE TOOTH OF DOUBTFUL AFFINITIES. 

 PLATE I., FIG. 14, , b. 



I am indebted to the Committee of the Wisbeach Museum for 

 the opportunity of examining a peculiar carnivore tooth, there 

 preserved, which is labelled Crag, Kessingland. This tooth 

 resembles the left upper molar of a Wolf or Dog, but a close 

 comparison shows important differences between them. The 

 posterior outer cusp is larger than the anterior, and there are 

 only two inner cusps instead of three ; also the smooth space in 

 the middle of the tooth is larger than in the Wolf or any species 

 of Canis I have been able to examine. The presence of Ailurus 

 in the Crag led me to make comparison with that form, but the 

 differences are even greater than those above noticed. Perhaps 

 the tooth which comes nearest to this specimen is the first molar 

 of the Miocene Cephalogale Geoff royi, figured by Mr. H. Filhol 

 in his Mammifere fossiles de L'Allier (Ann. Sci. Geol., Vol. X., 

 Plate 17, 1879). After a long search I am unable to find any- 

 thing exactly agreeing with this tooth ; but it is figured in the 

 hope that this may lead to its identification.

Prof. Lnnkester (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., Vol. XXI., p. 226, 

 1865) described, under the generic name of Trichecodon, several 

 portions of large tusks from the Red Crag of Suffolk, which were 



63855.
