ramus was figured by Gervais, 125 and, at the same time, in his dis- 

 cussion of the form, he intimated that its true relationships were with 

 Hydrurga leptonyx. This mandibular ramus is much smaller than 

 the ramus of a Ilyelrurga leptonyx from Kerguelen Island, and its 

 peculiarities do not agree with those of the latter. 



Allen 126 was therefore justified in stating that its relationships 

 were with Monaclius albiventer, instead. Another tooth figured by 

 Gervais 127 from Fausson, in the Department of Herault, France, may 

 possibly belong to some cetacean. The tooth from the shell marl 

 of Romans, in the Department of Drome, 128 has points in common 

 with a similar tooth of Paleophoca nystii} 29 Still another tooth, which 

 was thought to resemble Phoca vitulina, was figured by Gervais 130 

 from the marine sands of Poussan, France. Judging from the figure 

 of this tooth, its relationships are either with the Otariidae or with 

 some toothed whale. Cope 131 considered that this tooth belonged to 

 some species allied to his Squalodon mento. 



Stromer 132 described a fragment of a right mandibular ramus with 

 one molar in situ from the Uadi Natrun, Egypt. According to 

 Andrews 133 other remains such as Hipparion aff. gracile, Ilippotragus 

 corelieri, and a sirenian, as well as Canidae, Lutrinae, and Machaero- 

 dontinae have been found in the same deposit. The mandible appar- 

 ently has its nearest affinities with the genus Monaclius, though it 

 is too fragmentary for any accurate comparisons. The two-rooted 

 molariform tooth is very similar to that possessed by Monaclius. 



Newton 13 * described and figured a small left humerus under the 

 name of Phoca moori. This specimen was found in the nodule bed 

 of the Red Crag at Foxhall, four miles southwest of Woodbriclge,
