This specimen appears to agree precisely with the last specimen ; it is entered in the Museum Register as C. angustidens, Pomel and Bra- Yard. The present writer is unaware whether that name is merely a manuscript one, or whether it occurs in the memoir by those writers already mentioned under the head of the genus Cynodictis (p. 107) : if the latter should he the case, the name angustidens has the priority over compressidens.

Bravard Collection. Purchased, 1852. M. 1653. Two fragments of the mandible ; from the Upper Eocene of Bach, near Lalbenque (Lot), France. One specimen shows the three true molars, and the other the last pre- molar, the carnassial, and the alveoli of mT2 and m. 3. Purchased, 1884. Yar. viverroides, Eilholl. M. 1359. The greater portion of the left ramus of the mandible, containing all the cheek-teeth, and part of the alveolus of the canine; from the Upper Eocene of Caylux (Tarn-et- Garonne), France. This specimen, which is figured in the accompanying woodcut (fig. 16), differs from the man- Fig. ?, var. viverroides, Filhol.—Part of the left ramus of the mandible ; from the Upper Eocene of Caylux. \. dible of the type form by its slightly inferior size, by the absence of m. 3, and by the slightly more backward posi- tion of the inner cusp of m. 1, and in these respects agrees perfectly with the type mandible of the variety described by Filhol. This jaw presents a marked resemblance to that of Herpestes, but is distinguished by the relatively larger size of m. 2 and of the hinder lobe of the blade of m. 1; in the form of m. 2 it comes very close to Amphictis.
