Indicated by an isolated tooth, supposed to be a canine, of peculiar character. It 

 was found in association with remains of Platygonus, &c., in the crevices of the lead- 

 bearing rocks in the vicinity of Galena, Illinois. Post-pliocene. The genus is of 

 uncertain reference, and is only suspected to be that of a large insectivorous animal. 



OMOMYS. 



Omomys Carteri. 



Leidy : Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc. 1869, 63. 



Indicated by portions of a skull, together with the greater portion of a ramus of 

 the lower jaw, discovered by Mr. J. Van A. Carter in a tertiary formation near Fort 

 Bridger, Wyoming. The skull was reduced to useless fragments ; the ramus of the 

 lower jaw with teeth was the only characteristic part preserved. This specimen is 

 represented in figures 13, 14, plate XXIX, magnified four diameters. It indicates 

 an insectivorous animal allied to, if not belonging to the family of the Hedge-hogs. 

 Among living Insectivora, described and figured by DeBlainville, Gervais, Peters, 

 Mivart, and others, the jaw fragment approaches most nearly in size and form the 

 corresponding portion in the representations of J'apaia ferruginea, of Java and neigh- 

 boring isles. It likewise nearly resembles in size and form the coi'respondiug portion
