Extract

Having nearly completed the manuscript of a catalogue of some of the Orders of Fossil Mammalia in the Collection of the British Museum, I have thought it advisable to give a brief preliminary notice of some rather interesting points in connection with the structure and distribution of a few forms of Carnivora and Rodentia; in which orders I have now gone through the entire collection of specimens. I also notice one specimen to which I have assigned a new specific name; and another which does not belong to the collection of the British Museum. Several of the more interesting specimens will be illustrated by woodcuts in the forth-coming catalogue.

page 444 note 1 In a paper by Messrs. A. and E. Bell on the Crag, published in the “Proc. Geologists' Assoc.“ vol. ii. Nos. 5 and 6, Canis vulpes is recorded from the Norwich Crag; but no authority is given for the statement.

page 444 note 2 Vide Newton, Geol. Mag. Dec. II. Vol. VII. p. 153 (1880).Google Scholar Mr. Newton has some doubt of the correctness of the specific determination; but it appears to me to be in all probability correct.

page 444 note 3 The exact position of the bed from which this Hycenodon was obtained is given in the Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xxxix. p. 571.Google Scholar Prof. Boyd-Dawkins (Ibid. vol. xxxvi. p. 383) mentions H. leplorhynchus from the Headon beds; the statement probably resting on a wrong identification of the present specimen.
