Huoshipo, near Guojia Village, Wangmao Town is the most important one among those new localities, where we found several dozens of jaws and teeth Insectivora, Lagomorpha, Rodentia, Carnivora, Primates, Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla in the spring of 1998. The present paper dealt only with carnivorous fossil, which is the best upper jaw and dentation of Miacis so far found in China.
