 Gulo Urva of Asiatic Journal nob. 

 Teeth as in Herpestes, but blunter, 

 structure and aspect precisely me- 

 diate between Herpestes and Gulo; 

 on either side the anus a large, hol-

 animal ejects posteally with force. 

 No subsidiary glands, nor any unc- 

 tuous fragrant secretion. Teats 

 six, remote and ventral. Orbits 

 incomplete ; parietes of the skull 

 tumid, with small cristas.

 quent on a general disuse of local generic 

 terms. 

 Ursinae. 



Molars 4-4, of ursine 4-4, flatness al-
