Type. Abraded lower dentition ; British Museum. 
Teeth of similar proportions to those of M. striatus ; lower den- 
tition dififering in the greater thickness and more raised contour of 
the crown (see PI. III. fig. 5 a). 
The second of the specimens mentioned below seems to afiford the 
requisite proof of the distinctness of this species from M. striatus, 
noted as wanting at the time of publication of the present writer’s 
memoir, loe. cit. All these specimens represent the lower dentition, 
that of the upper jaw being at present indistinguishable from the 
corresponding dentition of M. striatus.
