The outermost upper incisor is caniniform, and nearly as large as 
is the adjacent canine. P-1 isa little separate from anda little larger 
than the canine, which it closely resembles. P.2 is also caniniform, 
with a talon: it is separated by a long diastema from Pt and

another about as long separates it from —~, — is a narrow, antero- 
posteriorly elongated tooth, with a conical backwardly-directed 
middle cusp, and with a small anterior cusp and a larger posterior 
one, at the base of the middle cusp. 73, &4, ™* and M-? all join 
without diastemata. ':4 has one large median cusp, with one small 
anterior and one rather large posterior cusp, and with a small internal 
cusp placed opposite the junction of the anterior and middle cusps. 
M-* has two equal-sized outer cusps, and an inner cusp (larger than 
that of **) opposite their junction. The anterior outer cusp

answers to the anterior outer one of ~~. ~' shows also a minute

rudiment of a cusp answering to the postero-outer one of —, —— 
is very similar to M:1. but its inner cusp is smaller, and placed uppo- 
site to the more anterior of the two outer cusps. x 
The outermost lower incisor has the postero-outer angle of its crown 
slightly produced. The canine is like it, save that this angle is more 
produced. The teeth ep Pow Poe and pia are all separated by 
diastemata (of which that between ;- and 5- is the longest), while 
a and ara adjoin the one to the other. pa 38 caniniform, 
Pr 18 also caniniform, with the addition of a minute anterior cusp 
and a slight talon. 5-; has a talon which develops two small 
cusps, while the anterior cusp is more developed than ins3. pz 
is like ;-, with all its cusps more developed save the principal 
cusp. ;,;~ has three external cusps (whereof the posterior cusp is 
the smallest), with an internal cusp placed opposite to the hinder 
part of the middle outer cusp. ;;-3 18 similar to yy, save that the 
postero-external cusp is relatively larger and subdivided, and that 
the internal cusp is connected with it and with the antero-external 
cusp by ridges. Here ;,-, not only equals, but (at least sometimes) 
even exceeds 5,5 in size.

and —— may resemble —— and —~ ; but p-3 and pq are unlike any 
of the permanent teeth, since they seem each to consist of two nearly 
equally developed external cusps, and they are much more sec- 
torial in character than are the teeth which succeed them, whether 
from below or from behind. In a word, the milk-dentition is 
more carnivorous and less insectivorous than are the permanent 
teeth. 
Both the internal condyle and olecranal fossa of the humerus are 
perforated. ‘There are no signs of scent-glands. 
I can find no record of the anatomy of its soft parts. 
It appears to me that, of allother Viverride, Eupleres comes nearest
