A criticism of Marsh’s paper quoted in Zool. Rec. xxvi, Mamm. p. 10. 
The author concludes that in the Multituberculata (Allotheria) the genera 
Cimolomys, Cimolodon , Nanomys , and Hallodon ) referred to 3 families, 
and of which 8 species have been described, should all be included in 
CimolomySy of which there are 2 or 3 species, and that the genus belongs 
to the Plagiaulacidce. The genera Dipriodon, Tripriodon, and Selena- 
codon , which have been referred to 2 families, are regarded as belonging 
to Cope’s Meniscoessus, which is placed in the Stereognathidce. Allacodon , 
Camptomus , and Oracodon are considered to be not improbably identical 
with Cimolomys or Meniscoessus. In the Carnivorous or Insectivorous 
types the determination of Dryolestes in these beds is considered uncertain ; 
while Diclelpkops ) Cimolestes , and Pediomys are not definable. The teeth
