224 - M. R. Thorpe— Oligocene F elides. 



As stated in the first part of this paper, there are now 

 five species of this genus. It also seems evident that the 

 position of the genus in the phytogeny of the Felidse 

 should be somewhere between Dinictis and Hoplophoneus, 

 probably a little closer to the former than to the latter.
