Bericht Naturwiss. Ver. Schwaben u. Neuburg (a. V.), Augsburg, XXIX, 33, 
1887; X XXII, 161, 1896. 
A common name, given by Roger as one of the generic synonyms of Mastodon, 
under M. andinum Cuvier. This name is evidently taken from Leidy’s 
Extinct Mamm. N. Am. (Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 2d ser., VII, 242, 
397, 1869.) Leidy, however, uses it only as a common name in mentioning ¢ 
mastodon tooth which he had examined and figured, and which had been 
collected at Tambla, a village in Honduras, in one of the passes leading from 
the plain of Comayagua to the Pacific. 
Extinct.
