| Abstract/Notes | At the beginning of this century nothing whatever was known about the history of the Carnivora in the Eocene period. In 1825, in the second edition of his “Recherches sur les Ossements fossiles,” Cuvier described certain fossil bones from the Gypseous Series as belonging to a Carnivore allied to the Racoons and the Coatis. Ten years afterwards, having obtained a palate from the same beds, furnished with five teeth on one side and four on the other, he referred the palate, as well as the bones alluded to above, to a genus allied to Didelphis. De Blainville, in his “Osteographie,” founded on these bones a genus allied to the Badger, which he placed amongst the “Petits Ours” (Subursidæ), under the title of Taxotherium, while he referred the supposed Didelphoid teeth of Cuvier to a distinct genus, Pterodon, to which also he assigned a place in the same group. |
