The better preserved root of the lighter canine (no. 234-iO, fig. 65) 

 and the rehitive narrowness account for its much longer appearance. 

 Beyond the difference in size of cross-section the form of the tooth 

 and the manner of wear of the posterior surface point to its being 

 identical with the species represented by the larger canine.

Companso)is. — The canines are apparently too large to be referred 

 to the material here described under Prostliennops edensis. The 

 specimens are larger and longer than the canine associated with the 

 Prosthennojys-like teeth from the Thousand Creek, the same measuring 

 but 27 mm. on the outer curve from tip to alveolus. The two canines 

 are believed to be too elongate for reference to any of the forms which 

 have been associated under the genera Prostliennops or MijloJiiius. 

 The heavier tooth might well represent such a canine as that 

 described hy Professor Cope under Platygonus hicalcaratus.*'^ Tlie
