PALyEOSYOPS JUNIUS. 



Dr. Carter recently sent the writer several small fragments of the rit^ht 

 side of a lower jaw, togetiier with a sketch of a larger fragment of the left 

 side, containing the last premolar and the succeeding molars. The s|)eci- 

 mens were obtained from the Bridger beds, and appear to indicate a small 

 species of Palasosyops, though it is not improbable that they pertain to a 

 small variety of P. paludosus. 



The parts agree closely with the corresponding parts of the lower jaw and 

 teeth of the latter, except in size. They have been viewed as representatives 

 of a species with the name of Fal<eosyops Junius. 



The measurements of the teeth in comparison with those of P. indudosus 

 are as follows :

LIMNOHYUS. 



This genus was originally named by Professor Marsh, in a communication 

 published in the American Journal of Science for August, 1872, and was 

 applied to Paleeosyops under the misapprehension that this genus had not 

 been distinguished by the possession of one or two cones to the inner part of 

 the crown of the last upper molar tooth. As it was as cleai-ly demonstrated 

 as the nature of the specimens would admit, that the last upper molars of
