In this view Professor Cope has recently described some remains of Pala?- 

 osyops under the name of Limnohyus Icevidens. 



Teeth such as I have attributed to Palseosyops are comparatively abundant, 

 but I have not yet had the opportunity of inspecting a specimen of a 

 last upper molar, such as Professor Marsh ascribes to Palseosyops, in 

 which the inner side of the crown possesses two internal cones. That 

 such exist there can be no question, as proved by Professor Marsh's 

 description of Palceosyops laticeps. 



Professor Marsh has described some remains which he refers to a genus 

 with the name of Telmathcrium. Of this, he observes: "The dentition 

 of tlrs genus, so far as is known, appears to be similar to that of Palaeo- 

 syops. The upper molar teeth have the inner cones more elevated and 

 more pointed than in Palaeosyops, and the. basal ridge is well developed 

 The last upper molar has but a single internal cone." He also remarks 

 that "the two may be readily distinguished by the anterior portion of the 

 skull, which in Telmatherium has the premaxillaries compressed, with an 

 elongated median suture. The zygomatic arch is also much less strongly 

 developed, and the squamosal portion of it is comparatively slender." Such 

 differences are more likely to be of a sexual or individual character than of 

 either specific or generic value. 



Since writing the preceding chapters we have attempted to give a restora- 

 tion of the skull of Pala3osyops in Fig. 1, Plate XXXI, built up from a 

 number of specimens. The cranium and face were mainly reconstructed 

 from the specimens of Fig. 51, Plate XVIII, and Figs. 1, 2, Plate XXIV; 

 the lower jaw from the specimen of Fig. 52, of the latter plate, and Fig. 

 4, of the former plate.
