The skull agrees with Genetta and Nandinia in the hinder open- 
ing of the palate being only a short distance behind the line between 
the back edges of the hinder tubercular grinders. The orbit is very 
incomplete. The teeth are short, broad, and very unlike those of 
Genetta and Nandinia—somewhat similar to those of the genus 
Paguma. The first and second false grinders are compressed, the 
the third has an inner lobe on the middle of the inner side. The 
flesh-tooth is triangular, scarcely longer than the width of the middle 
of the tooth, the large inner lobe occupies nearly the whole inner
