14. Amphicyon major, 1 Blain. Mid. miocene, Sansan. 
A. crassidens, Pom. A. minor, Blain {in parte). 
A. laurillardi, Pom. (?) Pseudocyon sansaniensis, Lart. 
A species of which some specimens are as large as a brown bear. 
15. Amphicyon vetus, 2 Leidy. Miocene, North America. 
A species rather smaller than Cam's latrans : very small. 
16. Amphicyon zibethoides 3 (Blain.). Mid. miocene, Sansan. 
Viverra zibethoides, Blain. 
A small species, of which the generic determination is somewhat uncertain. 
From the miocene of N. America Prof. Leidy has described 4 a small species 
under the name of A. gracilis : the name had, however, been previously applied by 
Pomel to one of the European species ( A . lemanensis ), and should, therefore, be 
changed. The species is smaller than Cams bengalensis, and its lower carnassial is 
remarkably like that of Cynodictis. There also occur the following specific names, 
vis., A. agnotus, Pom. (Agnotheidum antiquum, Kaup, in parte) \ A. communis , Myr. ; A. 
crucians , and A. cultridens, Laur. It is stated 5 that Canis ursinus, and C. haydeni , 
Cope, 6 may possibly belong to Amphicyon. The so-called A. diaphorus (Kaup) is the 
same as Metarctos. 
Species : Amphicyon palaeindicus, nobis. 
History. — -In the first volume of this work 7 an upper true molar and a part of 
the mandible with mm. 4 and mTI of a canoid animal were described and figured 
under the above name ; some doubt being entertained whether the two belonged to 
the same species. As the figures were drawn by an incompetent native artist it has 
been thought better to reproduce them ; their description being at the same time 
more fully given. 
Upper true molar. — The above-mentioned upper true molar is represented of the 
natural size from the grinding surface in figure 8 of plate XXXII. It was obtained 
from the Siwaliks of Kushalghar, on the Indus, some twenty miles below Attock, by 
Messrs. Garnett and Trotter, who presented it to the late Dr. Oldham. By him it 
was submitted to Dr. Falconer, who made a manuscript note upon it, subsequently 
1 Blainville, “ Osteographie,” G-en. Subursus, pis. XIV.-V. Gaudry, “ Les Enchainements, etc.,” fig. 277. Pomel 
(“Cat. Meth. Vert. Eoss.,” p. 72) divided Blainville’s A. major, from Sansan, into the’ two species A. laurillardi and A. 
crassidens : as, however, he did not give figures or clear definitions it is better, with Prof. Peters, to retain all the specimens 
figured by Blainville, under the name of A. major, which has the priority over Pomel’ s names : the Sansan specimens 
indicate, however, a large and a small race. The lower jaw from Monte-Bamboli figured by Meneghini under the name 
of A. laurillardi (‘ Atti. Soc. Ital. Sci. Nat.,’ vol. IV., pi. IIa ) has been referred by Gervais (‘ Zool. et Pal. Generates, ’ ser. 2, 
1875, p. 22) to a hew species of Eycenarctos ; a fact with which the present writer was unacquainted, when describing that 
genus. Pomel referred Pseudocyon sansaniensis, Lart., to his A. laurillardi ; a reference which is provisionally followed here.
