Remarks. — It is seldom possible to determine exact dates of publica- 
tion for the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadel- 
phia during the period of concern here, which includes the papers that we 
cite as Cope 1868a, 1868b (containing the type description of Galera 
macrodon), and 1868c. They were presented orally at meetings of the 
Academy on 10 December 1867, 31 December 1867, and 28 July 1868, 
respectively. Nolan (1913:xiii), the standard source for establishing time 
of Academy publications, is imprecise in these instances, but for the 
critical paper, 1868b, evidence indicates that it was published between 
1 January and 1 1 May 1868 (see Nolan 1913; Osborn 1930). 
Holotype. — ANSP 11626, partial right mandibular ramus, lacking 
anterior and posterior extremities; retaining Pj - Mj- well preserved, pos- 
terior root of Pj, and with alveoli of canine (incomplete), Pj, and M^; 
fragment of left maxilla with P- well preserved, posterior root of P-, and 
partial alveoli of M-. The maxillary fragment was not mentioned by 
Cope, but it bears the same old number 187 and the same catalog number 
(ANSP 1 1626), as does the mandible, and its P- was included by Leidy 
( 1 869:47 1 , pi. 30, figs. 2,3). Also, its preservation, size, and other charac- 
teristics are compatible with those of the mandible. 
Referred material. — From the western United States, all specimens, 
including the holotypes, heretofore assigned to Trigonictis idahoensis or 
T. kansasensis by Hibbard (1941a:344), Shotwell (1970:82), Bjork 
(1970:22-23), Hibbard (1972a: 109), and others. Also partial mandibles, 
previously assigned to T. cookii, F:AM 49163 from the Sand Draw local 
fauna, Nebraska (Hibbard 1972a: 109), and UW 41527 from the White 
Bluffs local fauna, Washington (Gustafson 1978:39). 
From the eastern United States, the following specimens, not pre- 
viously described: 
Santa Fe River, locality VIH A, Gilchrist Co., Florida 
UF/FSM 14256, right femur, and UF/FSM 16762, left femur, 
both collected June 1968 by William Hunt; both tentatively 
referred. 
UF/FSM 18475, left tibia, collected February 1971 by Kent Ainslie 
and William Hunt; tentatively referred. 
UF/FSM 18912, complete left mandibular ramus with Pj - Mp
