Meniscodon picteti Riitimeyer. 
The author repudiates the identification of Meniscodon with Meniscotheriwm, made 
by Trouessart, Annuaire Geol. Universel, Vol. VI, 1889, p. 683, and gives the specific 
name picteti to that tooth described and figured by him in 1888.

A critique of Prof. Marsh’s paper published in Amer. Journal of Science, 3d Ser., 
Vol. XLIII, p. 445 et seq. 
The author claims that the reference of Meniscotherium to the Condylarthra made 
in 1885 is correct, as shown by an examination of the figures of the feet of Hyracops 
Marsh, and repudiates the necessity for the erection of the order Mesodactyla proposed 
by Marsh.

Marsu, O. C.—‘ A New Order of Extinct Eocene Mammals (Mesodactyla).’’ American 
Journal of Science, 3d Ser., Vol. XLIII, p. 445 et seq. 
The author, admitting the more or less evident similarity between the dentition 
of Meniscotheritum Cope and Chalicotherium Kaup, decides from the study of the feet 
that the former genus and the genus Hyracops should constitute a separate order, to 
which he gives the name Mesodactyla. The feet are unlike those of any known ungu- 
lates, and ‘‘ resemble those of Carnivores or the early Primates.”
