Ursus arvernensis, Croizet and Jobert’. 
Syn. Ursus nunimus, Dey. and Boriel. 
Ursus nunutus, P. Gervais. 
Hab. France. 
28879. Cast of the right ramus of the mandible, showing the canine 
and the last four cheek-teeth; the original is from the 
Upper Pliocene of Puy-de-Dome, France. The alveoli of the 
first three premolars are present; there is no inner cusp 
to pm.4, and the interval between that tooth and the 
canine is relatively smaller than is usually the case in 
U. arctos. No history. 
27648. Fragment of the left maxilla, containing the last true molar ; 
from the Pliocene of Ardé, France. 
Croizet Collection. Purchased, 1848. 
Ursus namadicus, Falconer and Cautley’. 
Hab. India. 
39720. Part of the right maxilla, containing the last three cheek- 
(Fig.) teeth and the broken base of pm. 3; from the Pleistocene 
of the Narbada valley, India. This specimen, which is 
the type of the species, is figured by Falconer and Cautley 
in plate O of the ‘Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,’ and by 
Murchison in vol. i. pl. xxvi. fig. 5, of ‘Falconer’s Pale- 
ontological Memoirs’; it is described and figured by the 
present writer in the ‘Palzontologia Indica,’ ser. 10, 
vol. 11. p. 216, pl. xxvii. fig. 3. As far as can be judged 
from the extremely imperfect remains at present available, 
this species seems on the whole to have approached nearest 
to the existing Ursus malayanus, but is distinguished by 
its superior size, and the form and relative dimensions of 
pm. 3, pm. 4, and m.2, It is impossible to say at present 
whether or no the one form may be regarded as on the 
direct line of descent of the other.

39727. The left tibia; from the Pleistocene of the Narbada valley.
