The metapodials are not distinctly different from those of Mcry- 

 codus osborni figured by Matthew. 35 The ungual phalanges are 

 sharply pointed anteriorly, and do not show the Roman-nose form 

 seen in the Pliocene antelopes of Thousand Creek and to some extent 

 in Capromeryx. A

An axis, no. 21499 (figs. 124ft, 124o), from the Barstow is nearly 

 identical in form and dimensions with the axis of Capromeryx from 

 the Pleistocene of Rancho La Brea. The spout of the Barstow speci- 

 men is extended almost as far up on the sides as in Capromeryx, the 

 Barstow form being in this respect possibly a trifle less advanced.

The type specimen-, consisting of a single fragmentary horn or 

 antler, no. 20052, found by Buwalda and Mourning in 1913, repre- 

 sents a horn or antler of peculiar type, unlike any form known to 

 the writer.
