PHOCA ? MODESTA Leidy. 
Phoca modesta Letpy, J., Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, ser. 2, vol. 7, 
p. 415, pl. 28, fig. 14, 1869. 
Squalodon ? modestus Hay, O. P., Bull. No. 179, U. S. Geol. Surv., Department 
of the Interior, Washington, D. C. , p- 589, 1902. 
Type specimen.—Original description was based upon one small 
tooth which was thought to bear resemblance to some phocid. This 
tooth is also one of the three teeth which formed the basis for De/- 
phinodon % debilis (Leidy). Type, No. 10323, the Academy of Natu- 
ral Sciences of Philadelphia. 
Type locality—The Ashley River phoshate deposits of South 
Carolina. Edisto marl or Upper Miocene. 
Subsequent allocation.—Leidy refers this tooth to the genus Phoca, 
though he qualified his allocation with the statement that “it is 
not improbable it may belong to a squalodont.” Allen ** concurs with 
this assumption. It seems more likely, from what is now known con- 
cerning the various described species of Squalodon and other Miocene 
cetaceans, that this tooth belongs to some pinniped. 
SQUALODON MOLASSICUS (Bronn). 
Delphinus molassicus Bronn, H. G., Neues Jahrbuch fiir Mineralogie, Stuttgart, 
p. 732, 1837 [based upon ‘‘ Delphin,”’ specimen No. 21 of Jiger'’] 
[Squalodon] ? molassicus TRouEssART, E. L., Cat. Mamm. viv. foss., Berlin, 
fasc. 5, p. 1011, 1898. 
Type specimen.—Based upon a posterior fragment of the rostrum 
with alveolae; the tip of rostrum and brain case are wanting. 
Type locality—Stone pit of Baltringen near Biberach, Wurttem- 
berg, Germany. Vindobonian or Middle Miocene. 
Subsequent allocation.—See remarks under Arionius servatus. 
KEKENODON ONAMATA Hector. 
Kekenodon onamata Hector, J., Trans. and Proc. New Zealand Institute for 
1880, Wellington, vol. 13, pp. 435-436, pl. 18, 1881. 
Type specimen.—-Consists of fragments of the lower jaw and some 
10 teeth, including 5 cheek teeth, 1 of which is three-rooted, and 
2 canines, a tympanic and a periotic. Type, Cat. No. Ma. 69, 
the Dominion Museum at Wellington, New Zealand. 
Type locality.—The specimens were obtained by McKay of the 
Geological Survey ‘from the Upper Eocene strata of the Waitaki 
Valley in Otago,” New Zealand. The investigations of James Park** 
have yielded much information which is new concerning the occur- 
rence of Kekenodon in New Zealand. He pointed out that Kekenodon 
occurs in soft calcareous sandstone or shelly sands, often glauconitic,
