allied species. It is represented by portions of ribs and limbs, of which 

 the ulna is described under Uintatherium. Two or three hundred yards 

 from the typical specimen, I obtained remains of almost all parts of the 

 skeleton of what is probably the present species. The femur is identical 

 in character. The specimen embraces cervical, dorsal, and lumbar verte- 

 brae, ulna, both femora and tibiae, astragalus, navicular, &c., and large 

 parts of the scapulae and pelvis. 



The sccqntJa, in its proximal portions, differs little from that of Loxo- 

 lopliodon cornutus, beyond its inferior size. The coracoid is a compressed 

 tubercle inclosing a groove with the glenoid cavity.

The/emwr is nearly as long as that of LoxolopJiodon cornutus^ but is 

 more slender, and has a relatively smaller head. It is flattened fore 

 and aft, and the great trochanter is much expanded and with a shallow 

 concavity on the posterior face. There is a marked concavity on the 

 posterior face of the shaft above the condyles. There is a rudiment of 

 the little trochanter. The tihia is scarcely three-fourths the length of 

 the femur, and has a rather contracted shaft, which is in section rounded 

 triangular, one angle presenting forward. There is no spine except a 

 rudiment in the swollen upper portion of the anterior ridge. The articu- 

 lar surfaces are together rather narrowly transverse. They are sepa- 

 rated by a keel which is undivided posteriorly ; anteriorly, the contiguous 

 margins of the cotyli separate. The long axis of the inner of these is 

 directed antero-posteriorly outward in front ; of the other, similar but 

 much more transverse. It overhangs the shaft outward and backward, 

 and supports beneath, the sub-round down-looking fibular articular sur- 

 face. The distal articular surface is distinguished from allied species 

 by the downward prominence of the malleolar process, the antero-poste- 

 rior width, and the gTcater extent of the fibular articular face. The 

 face is slightly concave antero-posteriorly, and openly sigmoidal trans- 

 versely.
