172 PROF. ST.-GEORGE MIVART ON THE ZLUROIDEA. [Feb. 7, 
Bonite,’ p. 24, pl. 6), who have given an excellent figure of the 
external form, with an outline of the skull and teeth. The entire 
skeleton is represented by De Blainville on pl. 3 of his * Ostéo- 
graphie’ (Viverra) ; while its skull is admirably figured in profile 
on pl. 7, the atlas, axis, sternum, and hyoid on pl. 9, its appendi- 
cular skeleton on pls. 10 and 11, and its dentition, both young and 
adult, on pl. 12. 
The animal comes from Borneo. It was erected by Dr. Gray, 
first into the tribe Cynogaline’ and then into the family Cynogalide’, 
mainly on the ground of the nose having no median groove beneath 
it, a character very useful for zoological purposes, but, as it appears 
to me, trivial as the mark of a family or subfamily. I do find, 
however, a groove beneath the nose, though none on the upper lip. 
ie. 
Pads of left pes of Cynogale. 
Its webbed feet, short tail, long moustaches*, together with its 
exceptional upper lip, serve, however, to mark it as a very distinct 
genus, as does also the absence of the supracondyloid groove of the 
humerus. The feet are much less bald than in Aretictis. The 
metatarsus, indeed, is hairless; but the tarsus is clothed beneath 
with short hairs. The claws are rather elongated (cf. fig. 14 E). 
The pollex and hallux are very well developed.

8 When the head of this animal is viewed from above (as in S. Miiller’s 
figure) it presents a singular resemblance to the head of Potamogale.
