URSID #. 167 
inner cusp to pm. 4, corresponding to the hinder of the two inner 
cusps in the homologous tooth of U. speleus. In one recent cranium 
(B. M. No. 11376), however, this cusp is absent; and it is also 
wanting in some of the specimens noticed below. 
Hab. North America (Recent), and Europe (Pleistocene). 
1 (0.C.). Cranium and mandible, wanting the upper incisors, the 
(Ffig.) earlier premolars, and the right zygomatic arch; from a 
cavern in Muggendorf, Franconia, Bavaria. This fine 
specimen is the type of the so-called Ursus fossilis, and is 
figured and described under that name by Goldfuss in 
the Nova Acta Ac. Ces. Leop.-Car. vol. x. pt. 2, p. 259, 
pl.xx.c. Itis also figured, under the name of U. priscus, 
by Cuvier in the ‘Ossemens Fossiles,’ vol. iv. pl. clxxxix. 
figs. 5, 6 (1823); and the right lower dentition is figured 
by Owen in the ‘British Fossil Mammals and Birds,’ 
p. 106, fig. 353, under the same name. The specimen is 
of relatively small size, and the cheek-teeth are but little 
_worn. Sommering Collection. Purchased, 1827. 
M. 230. Cranium of a very large male; from alluvium near Balli- 
(fig.) | namore, County Leitrim, Ireland. In this specimen all 
the teeth except the canines and the last true molars have 
fallen from their sockets. It is described and figured by 
Leith Adams in the Proc. R. Dublin Soe. new ser. vol. ii. 
p. 51, pl. ii. (1878). The last molar is unusually narrow 
behind. Enmskullen Collection. Purchased, 1882. 
28906. Cranium, wanting the incisors, some of the cheek-teeth, 
and part of the left zygomatic arch; from a bog at 
Clonbourne, near Parsonstown, King’s County, Ireland. 
This specimen is of medium size, and the molars are very 
much worn; it is described by Leith Adams in the Proc. 
R. Dublin Soe. new ser. vol. ii. pp. 53-4. 
Transferred from the Antiquarian Department, 1854. 
38153. Cast of the cranium, wanting all the teeth; from a bog 
between Moyvore and Ballymahon, County Longford, 
Ireland. The original of this specimen is in the Leeds 
Museum, and seems to be the original of Ursus plani- 
frons, Denny : it is described by Leith Adams in the Proc. 
R. Dublin Soc. new ser. vol. ii. pp. 52-3. 
By exchange with the Royal Dublin Society. 
23139. Fragment of the left maxilla, containing the two true molars,
