• SAGHATHERIUM MINUS, sp. nov. 



Another animal, about half the size of that just described, is 

 represented in the collection by a maxilla with teeth, the latter very 

 similar in form to those of S. antiquum. The length of its molar series 

 is 20 millimetres against 34 millimetres in the larger species. 



For the present it may be referred to the same genus, the species 

 being S. minus. 



ANCODUS G OK RING EI, sp. nov. 



The commonest of the smaller mammals found in this locality is an 

 ungulate very closely similar to Ancof/us (//i/opotamus) to which 

 genus it is almost certainly referable. 



The molars are composed of four cusps, the inner being crescentic, 

 the outer sharp-pointed ; in the last molar there is a large talon. The 

 premolars are conical teeth, the three posterior having two roots, the 

 anterior, one. The third premolar is separated from the second by a 

 short interval, and there is a longer gap (26 millimetres) between the 

 second and first. Between the front premolar and the somewhat 

 compressed canine there is a diastema of about 22 millimetres. The 

 somewhat spatulate incisors are slightly separated from one another and 

 are directed forwards. The two mental foramina are beneath the first 

 and third premolars. 



The mandibular symphysis is long and extends back to the level of 

 the anterior border of the second premolar. 



The dimensions of the typ3 specimen, which is a nearly complete 

 mandible, are: — 



Approximate length of mandible 340 millimetres. 



Total length of the molar series 72 „ 



„ „ premolar series 87 „ 



Depth of ramus behind W 45 „ 



Length of symphysis (approx.) 90 „ 



The species is named after Mr. L. Gorringe, of the Survey Depart- 

 ment, who carried out a large part of the topographical survey of the 

 Fayum desert in 1898. 



The genera described in the present note were all associated with the 

 remains of Arsinoitherium Zitteli, Beadn.,in the basal beds of the great
