27985. The third left metacarpal, probably belonging to the present 
(fig.) species; from the Pleistocene of Copford, Essex. This

Soc. vol. viii. p. 187 (1852). 
Presented by J. Brown, Esq., 1852. 
22031. Numerous teeth; from the Pleistocene of Grays.

Ursus arctog, Linn. 
Syn. At least for paleeontological purposes the following forms must be 
grouped under this species, viz. :— 
Ursus cadavarinus, Kversmann. 
Ursus collaris, F. Cuvier. 
(?) Ursus eversmanni, Gray. 
Ursus falcularis, Reichenbach. 
Ursus formicarws, Kversmann. 
Ursus fuscus, Alb. Magnus. 
Var. a. Ursus tsabellinus, Horsfield. 
Ursus lasiotis, Gray. 
Ursus piscator, Pucheran. 
(? Var.) Ursus leuconyx, Severztoff. 
Ursus longirostris, Schinz. 
Ursus niger, Goldfuss. 
Ursus norveygicus, F. Cuvier. 
(? Var.) Ursus pruinosus, Blyth. 
Ursus pyrenaicus, F. Cuvier. 
Var. b. Ursus syriacus, Ehrenberg. 
(?) Myrmarctos eversmanni, Gray. 
According to Busk pm.4 is very small, and the inner posterior 
cusp generally absent, and if present very small; it is, however, 
fairly well developed in one recent, skull (B.M. No. 218/.). It 
appears to be almost, if not quite, impossible to distinguish this 
species by the dentition* alone from JU. horribilis. 
Hab. Europe and Northern Asia. 
40405. Part of the right maxilla and premaxilla, containing the 
outer incisor, canine, and the last four cheek-teeth. This 
specimen is of large size; and is mentioned by Owen in 
the ‘ British Fossil Mammals and Birds,’ p. 78, on whose 
authority it is referred to the present species. 
Presented by Sir P. de M. Grey Egerton, Bart., 1867.

2 In the ‘ Palzontologia Indica,’ ser. 10, vol. ii. p. 208, the writer has stated 
that m.2 is as long as the two preceding teeth; this is, however, by no means 
invariably the case.
