Eocene of Apt (Vaucluse), France. This specimen appears 
to agree precisely with the last specimen ; it is entered in 
the Museum Register as C. angustidens, Pomel and Bra- 
vard. The present writer is unaware whether that name is 
merely a manuscript one, or whether it occurs in the memoir 
by those writers already mentioned under the head of the 
genus Cynodictis (p. 107): if the latter should be the case, 
the name angustidens has the priority over compressidens. 
Bravard Collection. Purchased, 1852. 
Two fragments of the mandible ; from the Upper Eocene 
of Bach, near Lalbenque (Lot), France. One specimen 
shows the three true molars, and the other the last pre- 
molar, the carnassial, and the alveoli of m. 2 and m. 3. 
Purchased, 1884. 
Var. viverroides, Filhol ’. 
The greater portion of the left ramus of the mandible, 
containing all the cheek-teeth, and part of the alveolus 
of the canine; from the Upper Eocene of Caylux (Tarn-et- 
Garonne), France. This specimen, which is figured in 
the accompanying woodcut (fig. 16), differs from the man- 
Fig. 16. 



Cynodictis compressidens, var. viverroides, Filhol.—Part of the left ramus of 
the mandible ; from the Upper Eocene of Caylux. }. 
dible of the type form by its slightly inferior size, by the 
absence of m. 3, and by the slightly more backward posi- 
tion of the inner cusp of m. 1, and in these respects agrees 
perfectly with the type mandible of the variety described 
by Filhol. This jaw presents a marked resemblance to 
that of Herpestes, but is distinguished by the relatively 
larger size of m. 2 and of the hinder lobe of the blade of 
m.1; in the form of m. 2 it comes very close to Amphictis.
