Pliauchenia (n. gen. of Camelidce from the Loup Fork beds) is sup- 

 posed to be represented by a mandibular ramus and maxilla, referred 

 to different species (P. humphreslana and P. vidcanoriom). The denti- 

 tion is given as I. y, C. y, Pm. -|, M. ^. Hippotherium cola mar lum (n. 

 sp.) is a thick-toed horse allied to H. paniense. A mandibular ramus of 

 rhinoceros is described as Aphelops jemezanus (n. sp.). L. C. M.

 The series is traced from Poehrotherium of the Miocene, through 

 Procamelus and Pliauchenia to Auchenia.

The skeleton (from Loup Fork marls, near Santa Fe) had been de- 

 scribed as Cathartes umbrosus, but is now referred to the vulturine 

 division of the Falconidce. A short bony septum is present at the base 

 of the beak. L. C. M.

Caudal vertebrae with notochordal foramen are supposed to indicate a 

 Rhynchocephalian (Oricotiis heteroclitus^ n. gen. and sp.). Other bones, 

 chiefly of limbs, are attributed to the same. Clepsydrops collettii (n. 

 gen. and sp.) is represented by cervical, dorsal, and caudal vertebrae, 

 together with bones of the fore limb. This genus is considered more 

 typically Ehynchocephalian than Cricotus. Ceratodus Vinslovii (n, sp.) 

 and a Dijplodus were found associated with the others. L. C. M.

Mountains. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadel. 3 ser. vol. v. pp. 444- 

 448. 

 Amhloctonus, Stypolophus, Oxycena, and Pidymictis, though carni- 

 vorous in habit, appear to differ from true Carnivora in the cranial 

 cavity, the tibio-tarsal articulation, and the presence of a third tro- 

 chanter. A new suborder of Insectivora (Creodonta) is proposed for 

 them, and Marsh's Tillodontia are placed in the same order. L. C. M.

 Denies that this genus is the Stylinodon of Marsh, provided the 

 latter's diagnosis of his genus be accurate.
