1002 THE JOHX DAY FAUNA. 



Bemarhs. — This tooth belonged to an animal of about the size of the 

 H. cerebralis, and perhaps to that species. If so, it indicates foi' it a longer 

 canine than usual, as its extremely compressed form points to a position 

 at a considerable distance beyond the base of the crown. The probabilities 

 are against reference to the D. cerebralis. 



The tooth is the most elegant in form and perfect in its details yet 

 found. As a cutting instrument it is superior to anything of human manu- 

 facture which I have seen. 



Found by C. H. Sternberg, on the John Day River, Oregon, in the 

 Truckee beds.
