name crozzeti should stand for the species, on the assumption that 
the three forms are the same. In his quotations from Pomel, Filhol 
(p. 131) has, however, given Pomel’s description of P. lemanensis as 
that of P. croizeti, and that of P. croizeti (p. 134) as that of P. lema- 
~nensis. According to Pomel’s original description, it is P. lemanensis 
that is stouter than P. croizeti; but as Filhol has reversed the 
two descriptions, it of course happens that P. crovzeti is the stouter 
species according to him. It appears, however, that the stouter 
type of skull figured by Filhol under the name of P. robusta, var. 
croizeti, does agree more nearly in relative size with the type 
mandible of P. croizeti, Pom., than does the slighter skull figured by 
Filhol under the name of P. lemanensis ; and it therefore seems well 
to provisionally adopt Filhol’s identifications, although they appear 
founded on a misconception. On this view P. croizeti will be (con- 
trary to Pomel’s original definition) a larger species than P. lema- 
nensis, 
26702. The greater portion of the right ramus of the mandible, 
(fig.) containing the last two premolars and the carnassial, 
and the alveoli of the other cheek-teeth and the canine; 
from the Lower Miocene of St. Gérand-le-Puy (Allier), 
France. This specimen is the type of the species, and is 
figured by Pomel in the Bull. Soc. Géol. France, ser. 2, 
vol, iv. pl. iv. fig. 4. Pomel Collection. Purchased, 1851. 
31022. The hinder part of the cranium, containing the left true 
molar; from the Lower Miocene of St. Gérand-le-Puy. 
This specimen agrees with the cranium figured by Filhol 
in the Ann. Sci. Géol. vol. x. pl. xxi. figs. 3, 4, 5, with 
the exception that the temporal ridges are less closely ap- 
proximated, this character probably depending to a great 
extent on age. As mentioned above, these two specimens 
may be provisionally referred to the present species.
