Alces brevitrabalis, sp. nov. 
This deer is represented by the basal part of the antler of three 
large and one small specimens. They agree with those of the genus 
Alces in the absence of a brow-antler, and the flattening of the 
beam preparatory to a palmation. The palmate part of the horn is 
lost from all the specimens. It was probably not nearly so extensive 
as in Alces machlis since its base is not wider than that of the bez- 
antler. The beam is short, and becomes rapidly much compressed 
in a plane transverse to the axis of the skull (judging by the obH- 
quity of the base), which is also the plane in which the equally com- 
pressed bezantler is given off, in the external direction. The sur- 
face is not very rough, nor are the tubercles of which the burr 
consists, very large. A few nutritious grooves are well-marked. 
The external edge of the beam becomes truncated towards the base, 
and the section of the latter is a spherical triangle, transversely 
placed, with the external apex more or less obtuse.
