 breadth than the middle phalanx of the fore-foot of the

 Philip Egertou a knowledge of this rare specimen ; and 

 to the Marchioness of Hastings, of whose choice collec- 

 tion of Fossil Remains it forms part, the permission to 

 describe and figure it for the present work. 



Subjoined is an inside vieAv of the unique specimen 

 of the jaw of the great Tapiroid Pachyderm, from the 

 eocene clay near Harwich.
