Teeth found in association with remains of Platygonus in crevices of the lead-bear- 

 ing rocks near Galena, Illinois. Quatei'nary and recent. 



TArctomys . 



Siereodedes tortus, Cope: Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc.l869, 3. 



Based on an incisor tooth, from a bone breccia, from Wythe County, Virginia. 

 The characters upon which both species and genus are founded appear to me abnor- 

 mal. The distortion and unusual solidity indicated by Prof Cope are probably due 

 to growth unopposed by the corresponding tooth of the other jaw, which had been 

 lost. Such a condition is not unfrequently observed in the Arctoinys monax, etc.
