Fig. 1. Skull of the Sirenavus hungaricus from the original publication with the most important measures taken after the preparation: 1 = 18.0 cms; 2 = 10.6 cms; 3 = 14.8 cms; 4: 3.6 cms; 5 = 12.7 cms. - Fig. 2. Maxilla of Sirenavus hungaricus with the roots of M 3-M 1 - Fig. 3. Sec­tion of the left maxilla of Sirenavus hungaricus in the line of M 3 with the ramus mandibulae. ­Fig. 4. Top-view of the crown of the left M 3 M 3-M 1 is 5.5 cm, width of the maxilla measured at the outer edge of the M 2 s is 7.8 cm. Width and lenght values of the single teeth measured at the base of the crowns: M 3 M 2 M 1 lenght: 2.1 1.9 +1.4 cm width: 1.9 1.8 + 1.8 cm The back teeth of the upper row are bigger than the fore ones. Mandible (Fig. 3; Pl. I, Fig. 5-8): In 1941 the skull-base and the orbit were not cleaned. Only the dental enamel of M 3 indicated the presence of a mandible. After the opening up of these parts the fragments of the left and right mandible were found. Corpus mandibulae is represented only by the part under M 3 , but the ramus mandibulae is intact. The section of the corpus mandi­bulae is very narrow, lentifoTm. Its width is 1.8 cm measured under M 3 , in the middle, while its height is 6.0-6.5 cm. The canalis mandibulae runs in the central line inside the corpus; its section is rounded. Ramus mandibulae is highly developed, stretching deeply down under the ventral level of the corpus, about 2.0-2.2 cm below this, with an arched, rounded processus an­gularis. The incisura between the processus angularis and condylaris is deep, wedged, while it is slightly arched between the wide and flat processus condylaris and coronoldeus. Caput mandibulae is missing.
