The lower molar teeth of this form are said to be rathei . 

 half the size of those of the typical Cadibona form of A. magnum, 

 and have more distinct cusps. Specimens from Rochette figured by 

 Kowalevsky (' Palaeontographica,' vol. xxii. pi. xii. figs. 72 & 73) 

 are referred to this species by Henevier in the Bull. Soc. Yaud. Sci. 

 Nat. ser. 2, vol. xvi. (1879). The reference of the following speci- 

 mens is provisional. 



Hob. Europe. 



29803. Fragment of the right ramus of the mandible of a small 



Anthracotherium ; from the Hempstead beds (Lower Mio- 

 cene) of the Isle of Wight. This specimen contains m. 2 

 and the greater part of m. 3 ; the length of the former being 

 0,018, which is somewhat greater than that of the corre- 

 sponding tooth of the specimen figured by Kowalevsky. 

 It is not improbable that this specimen (which is noticed 

 by the present writer in the Geol. Mag. dec. 3, vol. i. 

 p. 548 [1884]) may belong to the present species.
