BISON CRAMPIANUS: This species was described by Cope from a part of a 
skull found near Wellington, associated with Hlephas primigenius. 
Bison ALLENI: This species was described from a specimen found in the Blue 
river at Manhattan. The description is meager. The horizon is located in the 
‘‘lower Pliocene.’?’ Upon what evidence I know not, as the specimen was pur- 
chased by myself from the finder of it. 
ALCEs, species indet: An extinct species of moose or an allied animal is rep- 
resented by maxillary and mandibular bones in the University collection. There 
is no record of the collector, though I doubt not that they were obtained by 
Judge West, who rarely attached his name to the specimens in the collection. 
They have the following label, in Judge West’s handwriting: ‘‘From the loess 
near Kansas City, 50 feet from the surface,’? and are accompanied by several 
skulls of Geomys bursarius, all of which are inclosed in an exceedingly hard 
matrix. Possibly the moose is Cervalces americanus, of which I can find. no 
adequate description of the dentition. The teeth are larger than are the largest 
specimens of the living moose in our collection, obtained by Professor Dyche. 
The upper molars differ, especially in the presence of a prominent tooth-like proc- 
ess or projection near the base of the premolars on the outer side posteriorly, 
and which incloses a cavity between it and the tooth. It is largest on the second 
premolar, and is represented by a rudiment on the first true molar at the base of 
the strong middle column. In addition, the second and third premolars differ 
markedly in the much stouter anterior column exteriorly, which is dilated and 
turned backwards, and which would give, when worn, a T-shaped surface. The 
first and second upper molars havea small, tooth-like process in the valley inter- 
nally. If the species is not C.americanus, it must be distinct from any hitherto 
described. 
Equus Mayor: So far as I am aware, the only occurrence of this species in 
Kansas is from the vicinity of McPherson, associated with Megalonyx leidyi. 
The determination is by Cope. 
Equus occIDENTALIS: Several teeth from Bluff creek, Clark county, agree 
perfectly with figures and descriptions of this species given by Cope. 
Equus EXxcCELsus: A complete upper dentition, agreeing quite with this 
species, was found in the Elephas deposit in Lane county, before mentioned, by 
Sternberg. 
PLATYGONUS CoMPRESsUs: The skeletons of peccary obtained from near 
Goodland in this state, 1am more and more inclined to identify with this species, 
notwithstanding the differences they present. If the species is compressus, 
it is very important in the correlation of the Megalonyx and Equus beds. 
CAMELOPS KANSANUS: This species described in 1856 from the ‘‘ Drift’’ of 
Kansas by Leidy has never since been identified. Possibly it is the same as one 
or the other of the following species. 
AUCHENIA HUERFANENSIS: This species was described by Cragin from Texas. 
Its identity with the Kansas species needs further identification, inasmuch as 
the bones from this state examined by Cragin are uncharacteristic. 
CaMELID, species indet.: Two metapodials, differing considerably in size, are 
in the University collection, which can be referred to this family only at present. 
One of them, the smaller, was discovered by Mr. C. N. Gould in Barber county. 
The unworn fourth lower molar of a large species was dicovered by Mr. H. F. 
Rose, about 10 miles northeast of Dodge City.
