The number of genera recognized by Cope is 8 ; of these Procamelus 
is the most ancient, dating from the Loup Fork Beds (Miocene); ancestral 
to Procamelus is Proiolabis , with a full set of incisor teeth, and ancestral 
to Protolabis is Poebrotherium, with distinct metatarsal bones, as .well as a 
full set of incisors ; Poebrotherium occurs in the lowest beds of Miocene 
(i.e., White River) ; the author also notices a progressive development of 
the brain, both in size and development of the convolutions in this 
family.
