columns or denticules. There are indications of a transition between

Genus PHACOCHCERUS, Cuvier l . 



^fyacotyazmg, sp. a. 



It appears impossible to distinguish the detached molars of 

 P. africanus from those of P. cethiopicus ; the specimens noticed 

 below belong to one or other of these species. 



Eab. Africa. 



48063. A last true molar ; apparently recent, S. Africa. 



Presented by J. P. Squier, Esq., 1877.

 Phacochcerus, sp. b. 

 Hab. S. Africa. 



41389. A last true molar ; from a superficial deposit near Colesberg, 

 S. Africa. This tooth appears of a narrower type than the 

 teeth of either of the two existing species, the tubercles. of 

 the middle row being longer, more compressed laterally, 

 and fewer in number. Purchased, 1869. 



Family LISTRIODONTID^E.
