Archaeotherium Mortoni. 
Fig. 1. View of the base of the skull of a young animal. The deciduous teeth had not yet been shed,

permanent premolars, exposed by breaking away deciduous teeth occupying a corresponding position; the 
first two permanent true molars, which are in place; and the last molar, which was exposed by breaking 
away the bone. Upon the right side are exhibited the last two deciduous molars, succeeded by the three
