Art. 24 TEXAN PLEISTOCENE VERTEBRATES TTAY 7 



From this tooth the upper molar from Texas appears to differ only 

 in being somewhat broader, 24 mm. instead of 22 mm. It can hardly 

 be doubted that the South Carolina and the Texas specimens belong 

 to the- same species. The name for both will be, therefore, Neochoerus 

 pinckneyi. As shown in the writer's second publication cited, other 

 teeth of probably the same species have been discovered in Florida, 



CAMELOPS ARANSAS, new species 



After this paper had been sent to press Doctor Francis trans- 

 mitted a small box of fossils which he had just received from the 

 Aransas locality. In this lot were a lower molar of a bison and some 

 remains of a camel. He also sent photographs of an astragalus of 

 Megatherium and of a fragment of the carapace of Glyptodon. 

 These ai-e mentioned in their proper places. 



The camel remains consist of the distal end of a front cannon bone 

 and of a part of the right side of the lower jaw with all three 

 molars. This belonged to an old animal, the teeth being worn down 

 to within about an inch of the forking of the roots. The wear of 

 mastication had obliterated the fossettes. The following measure- 

 ments are presented. The length and the thickness are taken on the 

 grinding faces; the length on the midline; the height on the inner 

 face of the teeth.

These molars appear to differ from those of our other camels in 

 the broj'dly rounded form of the outer faces of the lobes and in the 

 narrowness of the valley separating them. They are in this respect 

 more like the teeth of the Bactrian camel. The difl'erences between 

 these teeth and those of the camel found at Minidoka, Idaho, and 

 now referred to Camelofs sulcatus {C. huerfanensis of Hay, Proc.
