136 CARNIVORA. ‘ 
Trans. Geol. Soc. vol. iii. p. 277, pls. xxxili.—iv., under 
the name of Canis vulpes. It was subsequently described 
and figured by H. von Meyer in the ‘ Fauna der Vorwelt,’ 
pt. i. p. 4, pl. i. (1845), under the name of Camis palustris, 
and finally by Owen (loc. cit.) under the name of G'alecynus 
aeningensis. Huxley has shown in the Proce. Zool. Soc. 
1880, p. 280, that there seems no valid reason why it 
should be separated generically from Canis. 
Presented by Sw R. IL. Murchison, Bart., K.C.B., 1852. 
Canis ?, sp. 
Hab. France. 
M. 1708. Three humeri, about equal in size to the humerus of 
Canis aureus; from the Upper Eocene of Bach, near Lal- 
benque (Lot), France. These bones differ from the humerus 
of Cynodictis, Cephalogale, and Amphicyon in the absence of 
an entepicondylar foramen, and thereby agree with Canis. 
They probably indicate the existence of a species of 
that genus in the phosphorites, and would therefore seem 
to confirm the generic reference of the so-called Canis 
filholi and C. cadurcensis. Purchased, 1884. 
M. 1709. Four specimens of the femur, agreeing fairly well in 
relative size with the last specimen, and coming from 
the same locality. ‘They may possibly belong to the same 
species. Purchased, 1884. 
Genus AMPHICYON, Lartet’. 
Syn. Agnotherium, Kaup (i parte). 
Cynelos, Jourdan (MS.). 
Pseudocyon, Lartet. 
By te 3 i 4 3 
Dentition :—I. 3 C. p Pm. re M. 3° 
Amphicyon giganteus, Laurillard*. — 
Syn. Canis @une taille gigantesque, Cuvier. 
This is the largest species of the genus. 
Hab. Europe. 
‘Comptes Rendus, vol. v. p. 424 (1837). The name Agnotherium was 
applied by Kaup (Oss. Foss. de Darmstadt, pt. ii.) in 1833, and has there- 
fore the priority over Amphicyon ; but the latter has obtained universal accep-. 
tation.
