M. 3487. An imperfect cranium and several specimens of the

M. 3487 b. Specimens of the humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, 

 and astragalus ; from the same locality. Purchased, 1886. 



Genus EUMYS, Leidy \ 



This genus, according to Cope ", is distinguished from Hesperomys 

 (pt. i. p. 299) by the upward extension of the orbital fossae to form 

 an interorbital crest ; but some species of the latter show the same 

 feature. Schlosser 3 considers that it is probably identical with 

 Cricetodon (pt. i. p. 228), which appears the common ancestral type. 



Eumys elegans, Leidy 4 . 



This is the type and only described species ; the series of cheek- 

 teeth is as long as in Mus decumanus, but the muzzle is shorter. 

 Hdb. North America. 



M. 2563. Two imperfect mandibular rami, showing the molars ; 

 from the Miocene of the White River, Colorado, U.S.A. 

 Similar specimens are figured by Cope, op. cit. pi. Ixv. 

 figs. 9-13. Presented by 11. LydeJcJcer, Esq., 1885.

 from the Pleistocene breccia of Mont San Giovanni, Sar- 

 dinia. Purchased, 1886.
