ON THE EXTINCT MAMMALIA OF 



5. A fragment of the upper jaw, containing the left hinder pair of premolars and 

 the sockets of the first succeeding true molar. The specimen is from an adult of 

 rather advanced age, and is represented in figures 3, 4, plate ix, of the Ancient 

 Fauna of Nebraska. The three teeth mentioned were close together. The separa^ 

 tion between the pair of constituent lobes of the crown of the fourth premolar is 

 completely obliterated by wearing, as represented in figure 4 of the plate just 

 mentioned. 



The measurements of the specimen are as follow : 



Lines. 



Width of nose between the frontal angular processes, . . . 12J 



Space occupied by the third and fourth premolars, . . . .24 



6. Anterior extremity of the uj)per jaw, retaining the greater part of both pre- 

 maxillaries, and containing on both sides the sockets and fangs of the anterior two 

 premolars, the greater part of both caniiies, and on one side the lateral two incisors 

 and the fang of the inner one. It belonged to an adult, but not an old individual, 

 of more robust proportions than the preceding specimens. It may probably belong 

 to the species hereafter indicated under the name of Entelodon ingens. It is repre- 

 sented as forming the fore part of the muzzle in the restored figure, at d, plate XVI. 



Its measurements are as follow : 



Space included by the anterior two premolars, 



Interval between them, . . . 



Length of crown of canine, .
