The skull of the American R. meyalodus (Cope) is figured in the 

 accompanying woodcut (fig. 16). 



Rhinoceros croizeti (Filhol J ). 

 Syn. (?) AceratJierium croizeti, Pomel 2 . 



Pomel's A. croizeti was described as being larger than R. minulus, 

 whereas the specimens described by Filhol (op. cit.) indicate a form 

 rather smaller 3 than Duvernoy's and Kaup's specimens of the latter. 

 As Pomel's description is too vague to be of any value it is better to 

 take the mandible figured by Filhol as the type ; the latter is from 

 St. Gerand-le-Puy, but it is stated that specimens from Quercy 

 cannnot be specifically distinguished. The specimens in the Museum 

 show that there was no " crochet " or inner cingulum in the upper 

 true molars (fig. 17), nor any cingulum in the lower molars ; pmTT 

 is persistent in the mandible figured by Filhol.

3 Filhol says larger, but this is not borne out by his figures.
