This species is of medium size, and apparently unprovided with 

 antlers. Riitimeyer remarks that its dentition cannot be distin- 

 guished from that of the antlered forms. The lower diastema is 

 of unusual length ; the penultimate upper premolar is very narrow ; 

 the males were furnished with large upper canines ; and the length 

 of mT~3 varies from 0,015 to 0,018.

26849. The dental portion of the left maxilla, showing the six 

 cheek-teeth ; from the Lower Miocene of Allier, France. 

 This specimen agrees precisely with the one figured by 

 Filhol in the Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. xi. pi. xi. fig. 2 ; and 

 exhibits well the elongated form of pm. 3 , by which cha- 

 racter the species is distinguished from Amjohitragulus 

 elegans and Prodremotherium elongatum. The length of 

 the space occupied by the three true molars is 0,032, and 

 that by the six cheek-teeth 0,063.
