Milk P 3 of the new form is primitive, resembling P 3 of 

 Merycodus in that the anterior valley of its inner surface is 

 entirely open toward the inner side, but more advanced than 

 Merycodus in that the posterior valley is closed. This may 

 indicate an advance in specialization, but it is difficult to say 

 definitely, since milk and permanent teeth are the ones com- 

 pared. The degree of hypsodonty of the teeth is like that of 

 Antilocapra, being far in advance of Merycodus.
