Hyopotamus porcinus. — First and second left upper true molars ; from the 

 Hempstead beds of the Isle of Wight. \ . 



and those of m. 2 0,0185 x 0,020. These dimensions are 

 slightly larger than those of the two teeth figured by 

 Gervais and regarded as m. 1 and m. 2 ; but it is quite 

 probable that they are really mm. 4 and m. 1 . The present 

 teeth are readily distinguished from those of H. hovinus by 

 their inferior size, and their lower cusps, shallower hollows, 

 and the slighter concavity of the outer surface of the outer 

 columns. They are really intermediate between the molars 

 of H. hovinus and A. alsaticum (Ho. M. 1389); but are, 

 on the whole, nearest to the former.

(Fig.) m. 1 and m. 2 ; from the Hempstead beds of the Isle of 



Wight. This specimen (woodcut, fig. 32) is referred to 



the present species on account of the agreement in the 



size and structure of the teeth. The teeth are readily
