DESCRIPTION OF PLATE XXI. 



Rhinoceros iiemitcechtts. 



Fig. 1. Eepresents a mutilated right ramus of the lower jaw, exhibiting 

 the six posterior molars in situ, together with a portion of the 

 syniphysial expansion. The specimen is remarkable in showing 

 the abnormal condition of two collateral teeth for the last 

 premolar. The crowns are seen in the early stage of abrasion 

 of the adult animal. The specimen was discovered in ' Bacon 

 Hole,' and was presented to the Swansea Museum by Colonel 

 Wood. The figure is about one-half of the natural size and has 

 been copied from a drawing belonging to Mr. Spence Bate. 

 (See pages 340 & 349.) 



Figs. 2 and 3. Represent two views in profile and plan, of a fragment 

 of the right upper maxilla with the milk dentition. The first, 

 second, and third milk molars are in situ, and part of the 

 alveolus of the fourth milk tooth is also seen. The specimen is 

 among Colonel Wood's collections from the Gower caves, and is 

 believed to have been found in ' Minchin Hole.' The figures 

 are about two-thirds of the natural size, and have been copied 

 from drawings executed for Dr. Falconer by Mr. Dink el. (See 

 page 353.) Dr. Falconer was struck with the resemblance 

 which this specimen presents to a cast of the dentition of 

 Rhinoceros Lunellensis, sent to him by M. Gervais, and now 

 deposited in the British Museum. (See page 309.)
