The second record for the British Isles (after Westbury sub Mendip). Most northerly fossil record to date.         Notes In differentiation of these remains from other large canids the following dimensions show clearly that this specimen, identified as Xenocyon differs from Canis lupus (wolf, from Barnwell Cave, Somerset or Oreston Cave, Plymouth) and Cani s dirus (dire wolf).         Note JS Xenocyon lacaonoides : m1 length = 29 mm; width = 20 mm ratio = 1.45         Note JS Xenocyon lacaonoides : M1 (carnassial) length = 28.5 mm; ration m1/m1 = 0.98         Note X. lycaonoides from Bed 3, Westbury sub Mendip (NHM : M33965) left m1 length = 26 mm (approximately)         Note Canis lupus (Hutton and Barnwell Cave or Oreston Cave, Plymouth) : M1 length = 7.5 mm; width 9 mm ratio = 0.835         Note Canis lupus m1:M1 = 0.835         Note Canis dirus : l/w ratio = 1.125         Note Canis lupus : m1:M1 = 1.50
