 Upper molars peculiar as 

 compared with those of 

 the small-footed European 

 species in the presence of 

 an evident protoconule on 

 anterior commissure of 

 protocone, the small cusp 

 provided with a small 

 but distinct secondary 

 commissure extending to 

 base of paracone ; m^ and 

 fii^ with a small commis- 

 sure extending from base 

 of hypocone to base of 

 metacone and partly fill- 

 ing depression lying be- 

 tween these cusps.
