Another fossil form of cat has been named Hoplophonetjs * by Professor Cope, who represents it as like Machaerodus in having the mandible vertically expanded and the upper canines more or less largely developed, but as differing from it and from all existing cats in that the inferior sectorial has a posterior lobe or "heel/' while the superior sectorial has no anterior lobe, such as that which exists (Figs. 12 and 46) in all living cats. Its upper molar is largely developed (Fig. 185, B) and there is no inferior tubercular molar. It is a miocene genus, founded on fossils from the White Rivers of Nebraska and Colorado. * See Annals and Magazine of Natural History for January, 1880, p. 39 ; see also Bulletin of the United States Geo- logical Survey, 7th Report, p. 509 ; and the Proceedings of the Acad, of Nat. Sc. of Philadelphia, July 8, 1879.
