the Eocene of Africa: " Systematisch betrachtet trenne ich die Archaeoceti 

 vollstandig von den Cetaceen und schliesse sie als Untergruppe an die 

 Creodontier an, wahrend die iibrigen Walthiere nach wie vor eine selb- 

 standige Gruppe bilden, die so lange beliebig in der Systematik eingeschaltet 

 werden kann, bis wir deren Stammesgeschichte kennen;" and his conclu- 

 sion that these animals belong among the early carnivora seems well sub- 

 stantiated by him.

" Teleorrhinus browni — a New Teleosaur in the Fort Benton," 



Bulletin o) the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. XX 



(1904), p. 239. 



Another discovery of much interest is that of a true teleosaur crocodile 



from the Benton Cretaceous, by Professor Osborn. That the teleosaurs 



should occur in America is perhaps not so remarkable as their occurrence 



in the Upper Cretaceous, all the forms hitherto known being from the 



Jurassic and Wealden of Europe. The specimen upon which Professor 



Osborn bases his new genus Teleorrhinus has a skull one meter in length, 



and typical teleosaurian vetebrae, the latest biconcave crocodile vertebrae 



known.
