EXPLANATION OF PLATE 2. 
Plate 2. V. 1. p, 72. 
A. Jaw of Didelphys Bucklandi, (magnified to twice 
nat. size,) in the Collection of W. I. Broderip, Esq. 
and described by him in the Zoological Journal, 
V. III. p. 408, PI. XI. (Broderip.) 
2. Second molar tooth magnified. 
5. Fifth molar tooth still further magnified. 
B. Fragment of lower Jaw of a small Didelphys from 
Stonesfield, in the Oxford Museum, (magnified one 
third.) This Jaw has been examined by Cuvier, 
and is figured by M. Prevost, Ann. de Sci. Nat. Avr. 
1826, p. 389, PI. 18. The removal of a part of the 
bone displays the double roots of the teeth, in their 
alveoli, and the form of the teeth shews the ani- 
mal to have been insectivorous. (Original.) 
4. Fourth molar tooth magnified. 
9. Ninth molar tooth magnified. 
C. 1. Lower Jaw of Dinotherium giganteum, (Tapirus 
Giganteus, Cuv.) The length of this Jaw, including 
the Tusk, is nearly four feet. V. I. p. 136. (Kaup.) 
2. Lower Jaw and part of upper Jaw of Dinotherium 
medium. (Kaup.) 
3. Jaw of Dinotherium medium, exhibiting the Crown 
of five molar teeth, most nearly resembling those of 
a Tapir. (Kaup.) * 
* All these unique remains of Dinotherium are preserved in the 
Museum at Darmstadt ; they were found in a Sand pit containing 
marine shells at Epplesheim near Alzey, ahout forty miles N.W. of 
Darmstadt, and are described by Professor Kaup. 
Bones of Dinotherium have lately been found in Tertiary Fresh- 
water limestone, near Orthes, at the foot of the Pyrenees ; and with 
them, remains of a new Genus, allied to Rhinoceros ; of several un- 
known species of Deer ; and of a Dog, or Wolf, the size of a Lion. 
Our figures of Dinotherium are copied from the Atlas of Kaup's 
Description d’Ossemens fossiles de Mammiferes, Darmstadt, 1832-3.
