New species of Edentata^ the first found in the Tertiary formation : 

 Morotherlum gigas (Pliocene, California); M. leptonyx (Pliocene) is 

 a smaller species; Stylinodon mints (U. Eocene of Wyoming), Til- 

 lotherium latidens (U. Eocene of Wyoming), Elotherium hathrgdon

. On the Structure and Affinities of the Brontoiheridce. Amer, 



Nat. vol. viii. pp. 79-85, pis. i. & ii. ; and Amer. Journ. ser. 3, 

 vol. vii. pp. 81-86. 



Contains an account of the general characters of the Brontotlieridce 

 and a description of Brontotherium ingens, the largest of the group. 

 This family is distinguished from the Rhhiocerotidce by having four 

 toes in the manus, and three in the pes, and also in having a pair of 

 horn-cores placed transversely. It differs from the Eocene Dinocerata 

 in having but a single pair of horn-cores, in having small canines and 

 large molars (the reverse of which obtains in Dinocerata) in having one 

 toe less on each foot, and in some other particulars. The Brontothend(B, 

 which form a distinct family of the Perissodactyla, with some affinities 

 to the Proboscidea, have been obtained from the Miocene beds of 

 Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado. E. T. N.
