the other bones shows very clearly the precise degree of enlarge- 
ment required for the restoration. Scott suspected that the short 
tail figured by him might be incorrect, as appears from the follow- 
ing: ‘Obgleich kein mir bekanntes Exemplar von Oreodon einen 
volistaendig erhaltenen Schwanz besitzt beweisen doch die vielen 
vorhandenen Wirbeln dass das Thier einen sehr langen Schwanz 
gehabt hat, eben so lang, wahrscheinlich, wie bei Anoplother-

The general form of the ilium is somewhat more slender than is 
indicated by Dr. Scott’s figure, the superior border is slightly ex- 
cavated, instead of arched, and the angles formed with the anterior 
and posterior borders are rounded and not acute. The ischium 
also presents a prominent tuberosity not shown in the figure, and 
which resembles that of the dog more than of the Artiodactyla. 
The spine and acromial process, instead of being directed 
slightly backward, are curved gradually forward, and at the lower 
extremity project beyond the anterior border of the scapula. The 
superior portion of the metacromian process is wanting in the spec- 
imens, but there is sufficient remaining to indicate a considerable 
development in this species. 
All the lumbar vertebra and seven of the dorsals are in place. 
The sixth presacral is a true lumbar, showing no rib-facet, and it is 
provided with long, broad, transverse processes. 
The ninth, tenth and eleventh ribs are in place, from which it is 
evident that the posterior ones are longer than were figured by 
Scott.
