TELEOCEEAS ( ?) , sp. 



In the Thousand Creek Beds many scattered limb-bones of 

 rhinoceroses were obtained, but no teeth appear in the collections 

 from these beds. From the limb elements, particularly the meta- 

 podials and the astragali, it is evident that the common rhinoc- 

 eroses of Thousand Creek are different from the common forms 

 of Virgin Valley, and evidently represent a form near Teleoeeras. 

 It is not improbable that more than one form is represented at 

 Thousand Creek. 



Remains of chalicotheres have been obtained at the lower 

 fossil-bearing horizon in Virgin Valley, and associated with a 

 similar fauna at High Rock Canon. Thus far no remains of 

 representatives of this family have been seen in the collections 

 from the upper fossiliferous horizons at Virgin Valley or from 

 any of the localities in the Thousand Creek region. 



The specimens obtained include a few teeth and a consider- 

 able number of foot-bones, which closely resemble the forms 

 referred to Moropus Marsh. 



The teeth present include a representation of both the upper 

 and lower cheek-tooth series. A lower molar, no. 12595 (figs. 40a 

 and 406) is complete excepting for the loss of the most anterior
