536 ON HY^INARCTOS IN THE RED CRAG OF SUFFOLK. 



almost undivided ant ero -posterior ridge, as they do in the latter 

 and apparently in the Sewalik animal. A smaller species (H. liemi- 

 cyon) has been found at Sansans, Gers, and a single tooth in a bed, 

 like the last-named, referred to Miocene age, at Alcoy, in Spain*. 



According to Mr. Lydekker t a nearly perfect mandible of Hycen- 

 arctos sivalensis has recently been discovered by Mr. Theobald, and 

 will be figured in the ' Palseontologia Indica.' 



Discussion. 



Dr. Murie remarked upon the interest attaching to the wide 

 distribution of this animal, and inquired whether Prof. Flower 

 agreed with Prof. Gervais in adopting the name of Hyamarctos. 



The President remarked that the fact of the extension of the 

 genus Hyamarctos into Spain had already been brought before the 

 Society by a Spanish geologist. The question of the age of the 

 remains of -Hyamarctos in Asia and Europe was one of great inter- 

 est. If the family had a great rauge and the genus also (and great 

 horizontal concurs with great vertical range), then probably Hyce- 

 narctos had a very long geological life, and may have survived the 

 great changes which attended the upheaval of the Sewalik Hills.
