Upper Eocene of Caylux (Tarn-et-Garonne), France. This 
specimen shows all the cheek-teeth, except pm.1, and 
appears to agree precisely with the type specimen figured 
by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. Géol. vol. vil. pl. xxiv. fig. 102, 
in which the earlier premolars are wanting. It differs 
from the mandible of C. compressidens by the shorter pm. 4, 
the longer m. 1, and the larger m. 3. Purchased, 1884. 
Cynodictis intermedia, Filhol’.

M. 1356. The anterior portion of the cranium; from the Upper 
Eocene of Caylux (Tarn-et-Garonne), France. This speci- 
men, which wants the nasals, shows the two true molars 
and the last three premolars, as well as the alveoli of the 
remaining teeth. It apparently agrees precisely with the 
type cranium figured by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. Géol. 
vol. vii. pl. xxiv. fig. 105°; and exhibits well the extreme 
shortness of the facial part and the great width of the 
zygomata, which are such characteristic features of the 
species. The teeth agree very closely with those of the 
type (Filhol, op. et. fig. 104); but the inner portion of 
the true molars is rather shorter antero-posteriorly. In 
the sudden contraction in width immediately in advance 
of the carnassial, this cranium more nearly resembles some 
of the meionocreodont species of Canis (e.g. C. bengalensis) 
than Viverra; and in the extreme shortness of the face 
and palate is more like Herpestes than either of the other 
two genera. The cheek-teeth are, however, readily distin- 
guished from those of existing species of Herpestes by the 
absence of the inner cusp of pm. 3: the palatine foramina 
are of the elongated form of those of Canis and Viverra.

Cynodictis boriei, Filhol’. 
A large species, with a remarkably meionocreodont dentition.

2 In the explanation of the plate, fig. 105 is given as C. leptorhyncha and 
fig. 106 as C. ¢ntermedia; marginal corrections made by M. Filhol in a copy 
presented to the writer indicate, however, that these names should be trans- 
posed.
