GALESATTKID^. 79 



The crushed condition of the specimen renders the vertical 

 position of the inferior jaw of the mandibular symphysis 

 not very clearly shown in the figures. In his ' Catalogue/ 

 Owen gives the number of premaxillary teeth as three, 

 but four are represented in the figure in the ' Quart. 

 Journ. Geol. Soc.' There is no evidence as to the number 

 of cheek-teeth.

R. 1717 a. Fragment of rock split from the right side of the preced- 

 (Fig.) ing specimen. Figured by Owen in his ' Catalogue,' 

 pi. xiv. fig. 5. Portions of the upper tusk and four cheek- 

 teeth are shown. 

 Presented by the Trustees of the Cape Town Museum, 1877. 



R. 1719. The anterior extremity of the skull, in an imperfect and 

 (Fig.) somewhat crushed condition ; from the Karoo system of 

 Mildenhalls, near Fort Beaufort. The type specimen of 

 L. tigrinus ; figured by Owen in his ' Catalogue,' pi. xv. 

 There are no characters by which this specimen can be 

 specifically distinguished from the preceding. The upper 

 tusk is well shown on the right side, on which side the 

 split crowns of five cheek-teeth are also shown. In Owen's 

 figure a cheek-tooth is introduced in advance of these five, 

 but this is merely a portion of the matrix ; there may 

 have been smaller cheek-teeth behind the fifth. The up- 

 right ventral surface of the mandibular symphysis is well 

 exhibited. So far as can be determined, the premaxillary 

 teeth do not seem to be serrated.

49396. The anterior extremity of the imperfect skull of a larger 

 individual apparently referable to this species ; from the 

 Karoo system of Beaufort West. The lateral aspect of 

 the right ramus of the mandible and part of the upper 

 jaw has been cut and polished to show a section of the 

 tusks and anterior cheek-teeth. There must have been at 

 least five of the latter in the upper jaw. 



Purchased from T. Bain, Esq., 1878.
