Kestoration of Oreodon Culbertsonii Leidy. 
(With Plate I.) 
Among the material of the Oreodontide of the Kansas Museum 
are two remarkable specimens of Oreodon culbertsontt, collected by 
Dr. Williston in the White River Miocene of eastern Wyoming. 
The two specimens are lying in one slab, close together, the one, 
an older individual, partly overlying the other. The skeleton of 
the older animal lies with nearly all its bones in place, the only 
ones displaced being five cervical and six anterior dorsal and the 
caudal vertebre. The other specimen is apparently complete, 
though some of the bones are partly concealed yet in the matrix. 
The two animals together furnish nearly every bone of the skele- 
ton, the only ones left in doubt being the last rib, the terminal 
caudal vertebra and the fifth digit of the front foot. 
A restoration based upon this remarkably perfect material was 
nearly completed before I obtained access to the very thorough 
Paper by Professor Scott on the same animal, in the Morph. 
Jahrbuch, Ixvi, pp. 319-395, and, notwithstanding that the restora- 
tion given by him is in most respects excellent, I have thought it 
worth while to publish the present one, inasmuch as there are 
certain errors in. Professor Scott’s restoration, due to the insuffi- 
ciency of the material upon which it was based. The present paper 
is, therefore, in a measure corrective of his paper, but for the most 
part supplementary. 
The principal corrections here made are in the length of the tail, 
the shape of the pelvis, the position of the acromion process of the 
Scapula and the presence of the metacromian, the form of the pos- 
terior superior angle of the scapula, and in the number of dorsal 
and lumbar vertebra, as well as the length of the posterior ribs. 
The caudal vertebre are scattered and largely missing in the 
larger individual, but are nearly all in place in the younger skele- 
ton, one or two at the tip being absent. There’ is not much differ- 
€nce in the size of the two individuals,-and a careful comparison of
