As already remarked, it is probable that the semigrooved trochlea of the 

 astragalus of this species is an indication that the genus Prototomus must 

 be retained as distinct from Stypolophus, to which the present species proba- 

 bly truly belongs. 



The specimen described, together with the mandibular ramus of another 

 supporting the last two molar teeth, were found in the bad lands of Wind 

 river, Wyoming, by J. L. Wortman. Dedicated to Frances Emily White 

 M. D., of Philadelphia.

This formidable animal was abundant in Northern Wyoming, during the 

 Wasatch epoch. At least ten individuals are represented in the collection. 

 The following are the dimensions of the mandibles of the five best pre- 

 served.

The measurement' .035 for the length of the premolars given in my 

 report to Capt. Wheeler, loc. cit. , refers to the anterior three teeth, which 

 were originally supposed to be the only premolars.
