*“On a cité des traces de Loutre dansun terrain plus ancien, par exemple dans cette 
formation de Meudon touchant à la craie et désignée sous le nom de calcaire piso- 
lithiques; mais nous pensons que la dent considerée comme d'une Loutre doit plutót 
étre rapportée à un genre de Viverra, que nous désignerons par le nom de Palzonictis.”’
