tween the Auchenia weddelli Gerv. and the Eschatius conidens, having just 

 about the dimensions of the Camelus drornedarius or the Palauchenia 

 magna Ow. It differs from the Eschatius conidens in the much longer 

 inferior diastema, longer, coossified symphysis, and smaller true molar 

 teeth ; the comparison being made with superior molars of the E. conidens. 

 The alveolus of the inferior canine tooth is small, and is a short distance 

 posterior to the third incisor, being separated by a short diastema. The 

 mental foramen is very large, three times the size of that of the E. conidens, 

 and its anterior edge is 20 mm. posterior to the canine alveolus. The 

 alveolar parapet of the diastema is not so elevated as in E. conidens, but is 

 distinct. The dentition shows that the animal is an old one. The fourth 

 premolar has two divaricate roots, which spread nearly as far anteropos- 

 teriorly as those of the first true molar. The crown is compressed. Apex 

 broken. The crowns of the molars are worn ; that of the first to the 

 roots. The heel of the third true molar is lost.

On the structure of the feet in the Extinct Artiodactyla of North America. 

 By E. D. Cope. 



{Read before the American Philosophical Society, August 15, I8S4.) 



The structure of the feet of a number of the Artiodactyles of the Ter- 

 tiary beds of Korth America has already been described. In this paper 

 I enumerate these, and add descriptions of some types which have been 

 hitherto unknown. I commence with the Bunodonta.
