184 CARNIVORA. 
Plesictis palustris, Pomel *. 
Syn. P. elegans, Pomel (var.). 
P. genetoides, Pomel (var.). 
Hab. France. 
31024. The hinder portion of the cranium, exhibiting the third 
and fourth premolars of the left side; from the Lower 
Miocene of St. Gérand-le-Puy (Allier), France. This 
specimen appears almost identical with a cranium, from 
the same locality, figured by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. 
Géol. vol. x. pl. xx. figs. 8-10; the only difference 
between the two being that the temporal ridges are more 
widely separated in the present specimen ; these differences, 
are, however, probably due to differences in age.

31025. Fragment of the right maxilla, containing the carnassial and 
the alveolus of m. 1; from the Lower Miocene of St.Gérand- 
le-Puy. Bravard Collection. Purchased, 1882. 
24943, The greater portion of the right ramus of the mandible, 
containing pm.4 and m.1, and the alveoli of the other 
cheek--teeth and canine; from the Lower Miocene of St. 
Gérand-le-Puy. This specimen appears to be precisely 
similar to a left ramus figured by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. 
Géol. vol. x. pl. xxii. fig. 2.

Plesictis croizeti, Pomel’. 
Syn. ? P. robusta, Pomel. 
? P. gracilis, Pomel. 
Hlab. France. 
This species was originally described in 1846 by Pomel, on the 
evidence of the mandible catalogued below (No. 26702). Filhol 
unites, in the Ann. Sci. Géol. vol. x. art. 3, p. 124 et seq., this 
species with P. robusta and P. gracilis, taking P. robusta as the 
name of the species. As, however, those names were not published 
till 1853 (‘ Catalogue Méthodique,’ p. 60), it is evident that the
