almost undivided ant ero-posterior ridge, as they do in the latter and apparently in the Sewalik animal. A smaller species (H. hemicyon) has been found at Sansans, Gers, and a single tooth in a bed, like the last-named, referred to Miocene age, at Alcoy, in Spain[1].
According to Mr. Lydekker[2] a nearly perfect mandible of Hyænarctos sivalensis has recently been discovered by Mr. Theobald, and will be figured in the 'Palæontologia Indica.'
Discussion.
Dr. Murie remarked upon the interest attaching to the wide distribution of this animal, and inquired whether Prof. Flower agreed with Prof. Gervais in adopting the name of Hyænarctos.
The President remarked that the fact of the extension of the genus Hyænarctos into Spain had already been brought before the Society by a Spanish geologist. The question of the age of the remains of Hyænarctos in Asia and Europe was one of great interest. If the family had a great range and the genus also (and great horizontal concurs with great vertical range), then probably Hyænarctos had a very long geological life, and may have survived the great changes which attended the upheaval of the Sewalik Hills.
