After the above description of the skeleton of Daphcenus felinus was written, 

 it was carefully compared with the osteological characters as described by Pro- 

 fessor Scott and a number of inharmonious statements were detected relating to 

 those parts of the skeleton preserved in the collections of both museums. A care- 

 ful reexamination of our material was then undertaken with the idea of eliminat- 

 ing if possible such inconsistencies. This attempt, however, was only partially suc- 

 cessful, for while a number of inaccuracies were found in my first description they 

 were for the most part unimportant and there still remain a number of differences 

 between the description given above and that of Scott. Many of them are doubt- 

 less due to the imperfect, fragmentary and scattered condition of the material \ipon 

 which Professor Scott's description was based, which frequently did not permit of 

 an accurate determination of certain characters. 



The Mounted Skeleton. Plate XX. 

 The skeleton (No. 492) was freed from the matrix with great skill and care by 

 Mr. O. A. Peterson and has been mounted with commendable ingenuity by Mr. A.
