America. Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv. vi. No. 2, pp. 3G1-38G. 
The Rodentia yet found in the American Miocenes belong to 17 
genera. The ancient forms differ from their modern representatives by 
the greater constriction of the skull behind the orbits, and the absence 
of post-orbital processes. In size they do not exceed, or equal, the living 
forms [c/. also Am. Nat. xv. pp. 58G & 587].
