1846..
OWEN ON THE FOSSIL FOX OF CENINGEN.
55
S. On the extinct Fossil Viverrine Fox of CEningen, showing
its specific characters and affinities to the Family Viverrid^^.
By Professor Owen, F.R.S., F.G.S.
In compliance with the request of Sir R. Murchison, I have ex-
amined the fossil Fox described and figured in Dr.Mantell's appendix
to the * Memoir on the CEningen Deposits,' in which formation was
discovered that interesting and remarkably perfect specimen*.
The number and kind of teeth in the fossil are there shown (loc.
cit. p. 291) to agree with the dental formula of the Fox and the rest
of the genus Canis of Linnaeus.
On comparing the well-preserved specimens of the teeth in the
right ramus of the lower jaw, the inner surfaces of which are ex-
posed in the right moiety of the skeleton, with, the corresponding
teeth of a Common Fox .Canis Vulpes^ Linn.) of equal size with
the fossil, the following well-marked differences are seen.

Jaws and teeth of Galecynus oeningensis, nat. size.
Fig. 2.
Teeth of the lower jaw of Vulpes communis^ nat. size.
The first premolar (fig. \. p 1) is relatively smaller, the third
(jt? 3) and fourth .p 4) relatively larger than in the Fox, and all
the premolars are placed closer together, and occupy, therefore, less
space in the fossil than in the Common Fox, the Arctic Fox, or the

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
