such a complete transition between the two types in respect of the 

 former character, that the writer follows Flower (Cat. Vert. Anim. 

 Mus. K. Coll. Surg, part ii., Mammalia, p. 390 [1884] ) in classing 

 all the species in the type genus. There is a large third lobe to m . 3, 

 but none to mm. 4. The first upper premolar appears normally to 

 have no predecessor ; but there is evidence (infra, p. 39) that it is 

 occasionally a true dent de r emplacement. 



The genus has not been recorded from North America ; it has been 

 stated by Bravard to occur in the Pleistocene of Buenos Ayres, but 

 his specimens have been referred by Burmeister 1 to Macrauchenia. 



Group A. The third lower premolar as complex as the fourth, and 

 the hinder lobe of the fourth upper premolar complete ; four 

 premolars in both jaws.
