Extract

The remains of many genera and species of the Order Carnivora have been discovered in the Lower and Middle Tertiaries of the European Continent, and have been described and figured in numerous valuable palæontological works and memoirs by Continental authors. That these remains are exceedingly rare in the older Tertiaries of England is proved by the fact, that only one Carnivore, the Hyœnodon, has been placed on record as occurring in them.
