‘Tmf. E. X). Cope stated that he had, during the past season, while 
exploring the eastern front of the ^Staked Plains of Texas with a party 
of the Geological Survey of that 'State, under Prof. W. E. Cununins, ob- 
tained the remains of some interesting ICarnivora from the iBlaneo or Plio- 
cene hedsj 'One of these is a hyena nearly allied to the genus Hyaena, and 
the first lapecies of this family found in America. It, however, differs 
from the typical genus in having a fourth premolar in the lower jaw, and 
prohahly in having a shorter blade of the sectorial- tooth in the upper, 
'He proposed the name Borophagus for the genus, and for the species the 
name diver sidens.”' * * *

“Another interesting carnivore is a weasel of a new genus and species, 
which it was proposed to call Ganimartes cumminsii, after its discoverer.”

“A third carnivore is a cat, provisionally referred to the genus Felis 
under the name of F. hillianuS; after Prof. Pobert T. Hill, the well-known 
geologist. IThis cat is about the size of the cheetah, and has large canine 
teeth without grooves, and the feet are shorter than in modern cats.”

Eyhodus regularis, sp. nov. 
Description. 
“The fine specimen on which this species is based was obtained by Jasob 
Boll from a soft Mesozoic limestone in Baylor county, Texas, which is 
probably of Triassic age. The species approaches most nearly the Eyhodus 
major of Agassiz, from the cMuschelkalk., In that species the teeth are 
stated to be mere tubercles, which is not the case in this species.” P.
