158 CARNIVORA. 






















Arctotherium bonariense. Palatal view of the cranium; from the Pleistocene 
of Buenos Ayres. 3. (From the ‘Palzontologia Indica.’) 
cisely intermediate between the other two—H. punja- 
biensis being the species of Hyawnarctos most nearly related 
to it. From the study of the teeth, Falconer came to the 
conclusion that while Hycnarctos was probably carni- 
vorous, Arctotherium subsisted on a vegetable diet. This 
skull, together with the following associated specimens, 
has been recently mounted as a skeleton.
