from the nose by any frontal cross line. De Blainville does not give 
an account of its origin, but, by mistake, says it is the same as the 
one figured by Cuvier (Oss. Foss. iv. t. 22); but no skull from Nor- 
way is figured in that work. It is probably the skull of the animal 
figured by M. F. Cuvier. 
Skull of Myrmarctos eversmanni, from Norway. 
4. Hewarcros. 
Head short, subglobose. Nose short, forming with the forehead 
and crown an arched outline. Lips rather external, very mobile. 
Front claw very long, strongly arched. Fur short, rigid. Nose of 
skull very short, as broad as long, forming a line with the forehead. 
Nasal bones short. Front false grinders crowded, large. Upper 
hinder grinder broad, scarcely larger than the flesh-tooth ; the outer 
upper cutting-teeth much the largest; the first false grinder large, 
second very small, third two-lobed.
