originally found by Mr. E. A. Le Souef. It was not printed, and has 
since been revised and extended.] 
The specimen about to be described consists of the right and 1 
left horizontal rami, united in their natural position, with incisors, 
premolars and molars all in place, and up in line. The hind 
lobe of the last molar, M4, showing traces of wear, the animal 
would be considered aged by Oldfield Thomas, 2 and adult by 
C. W. De Vis. 3 The lower half of the right coronoid is present,, 
but of the left very little remains. 
It has been possible, however, to make the following 
measurements : — 
Incisor. Length from base of enamel to the extremity of the 
worn crown, 22mm. ; length of the cutting edge of crown, 13mm. ; 
♦ 
thickness of crown, 6.5mm. ; vertical diameter at base of enamel,, 
nmm.; transverse diameter, 7mm.
