DESCRIPTION OF PLATE XVI. 



Rhinoceros hemitgechus. 



The figures in this Plate represent molars of Rhinoceros 

 hemitcechus found in ' Minchin Hole,' Gower, formerly in the 

 collection of Colonel Wood of Stout Hall, but now in the 

 British Museum. 1 The figures are two-thirds of the natural 

 size, and have been copied from drawings executed from the 

 original specimens by Mr. Dinkel for Dr. Falconer. They 

 are fully described at page 324, et seq. 



Fig. 1. Shows the five last molars, i.e. the penultimate and last pre- 

 molars, and the three true molars, of the upper jaAv, right side. 

 The antepenultimate premolar (p.m. 2) has been appended in 

 outline from a reversed figure of the tooth on the opposite side 

 of the same individual. The crochet (a) is well seen in the 

 penultimate true molar. The specimen is fully described at 

 page 324, et seq. 



Fig. 2. Shows the four last molars of the upper jaw, right side, but 

 considerably more worn than those shown in fig. 1. A deser- 

 tion of these teeth will be found at pages 325 & 329. At 

 page 325, ' left side ' has been misprinted for ' right side.' 



Fig. 3. Eepresents a detached penultimate molar of the left side, being 

 the counterpart from the opposite side of the tooth (m. 2) 

 represented in fig. 1. The characteristic thick massive crochet 

 (a), forming an acute angle with the anterior margin of the 

 posterior barrel, is well shown. A description of the tooth will 

 be found at pages 325 & 329. 



1 As these pages are passing through the Press, Col. Wood has presented to the 

 British Museum these and other specimens of Ehinoceros remains found in the 

 Gower Caves, which are described or figured in this work.
