The nearly complete right ramus of the mandible, con- taining the alveoli of the incisors, the canine, and all the cheek-teeth except m. 2 ; from the Upper Eocene of Bach, near Lalbenque (Lot), France. This specimen, which is represented in the accompanying woodcut (fig. 20), is Pig.

The space occupied by the five middle cheek- teeth is 0,0475, that by the four premolars 0,032, and the depth of the jaw at the carnassial 0,0176. Purchased, 1884. M. 1688. The anterior portion of the right ramus of the mandible, containing the alveolus of the canine, the four premolars, and the blade of tho carnassial; from the Upper Eocene of Bach. This specimen agrees very closely with the one figured by Filhol in the Ann. Sci. Geol. vol. x. pi. xviii. fig. 10, under the name of C. brevirostris. The length of.
