548 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE TERRITOFvIES. 



tlie bnmerns and its relative length to the femur, are quite as in •some of 

 the lemurs. The most marked difference is seeu in the increased num- 

 ber of teeth ; but iu this point it relates itself to the other Quadrunmna, 

 as the most ancient types of Carnivora and Ungulates do to the more 

 modern ; e. {/., Ilyanwdom to the former, and Fatcvosyops to the latter. 

 In its special dental characters it shows a close resemblance to small 

 types of the Eocene, which have been regiirded as low Perissodaclyles, 

 as Hyopsodus, &c. 



To^riTHERIUM ROSTEATUM, Cope. 



Proceedings of the AmLTiciiu Philosopbical Society, 1872^ p. 470, (published by the 

 author, August 7,) 1. c, 1873, (read April 18.) 



This species was about the size of the prehensile-tailed monkey, so 

 frequently seen in shows. The first and second premolar have but one 

 root, the base of the second being- about the size of the base of the 

 canine. The latter are cylindric at base. The incisors form a i^arabolic 

 outline, and have entire edges, the middle pair transverse ones. Enamel 

 generally smooth, premolars somewhat striate ; an indistinct inner ciu- 

 guium.

This genus is but little known, but is probably one of those which as- 

 sociates characters of lower quadrumana with Ccrcoleptcs and other 

 types.
