Type: Bathmodon semicinctus Cope, from the Eocene (Wasatch beds), near Evans- 
ton, Utah. 
*[ first applied the name Loxolophodon, with a diagnostic description, to this 
genus [of Uintatheriidze] in a short paper published August 19, 1872 . . . I 
again described it more fully in a paper published August 22d . . . Prior to 
the issue of the paper of August 22, I had (February 16, 1872) provisionally 
applied the name Loxolophodon to the species there called Bathmodon semi- 
cinctus Cope, without generic character. With further material it appears that 
the Bathmodon semicinctus is very near to the B. radians, so that the name 
Loxolophodon was cancelled in this connection, and was used again for the 
present genus without interference, especially as it was first published as a 
nomen nudum." * (Gong) Tert. Vert., 572.) 

*'The name, however, can hardly E SEES as a nomen nudum, as it was 
applied to B. semicinctus, which was fully deseribed.—T. 8. P.
