INTRODUCTION. 



While conducting explorations in the Quaternary eaves of 

 Shasta County for the Department of Anthropology of the Uni 

 versity of California, the writers have frequently found portions 

 of the skeleton of a large ungulate differing in many respects 

 from any existing form. The discovery by Mr. Furlong, during 

 the past snmmer, of the exceptionally complete specimen 

 described in the present paper, made possible the reference of 

 this more or less scattered material to a new and peculiar genus, 

 for which the name Euceratherium 1 has been proposed. 2 



1 EiWpaos, beautiful-horned; dyplov, wild beast.
