Llama Remains, Colorado and Kansas.— Cragin. 259 
Some cameloid remains obtained by Mr. E. D. Smith and the 
writer, from loess-marked volcanic ash-beds southwest of Meade 
Centre, Kansas, are also apparently referable to Auchenia huer- 
Janensis, Most of these, including asecond or third lower molar, 
vertebral and femoral epiphyses, etc., pertain to a young animal, 
but there is a proximal half of a first phalanx which, placed side 
by side with the first phalanx of the type of Auchenia huerfan- 
ensis, tallies with it perfectly in size and proportions. 
A canine with gently curved, conical, and bicarinate crown, 
found with this phalanx, and which, therefore, may belong to the 
same species, or even individual, has the enamel thick and smooth 
on the outer, longitudinally grooved or striated on the inner face. 
The axis of its crown makes nearly a right angle with that of its 
root, indicating a long post-canine diastema. The two strongly 
compressed and elevated carinz are formed largely (their crests 
entirely) of the thick enamel-layer of the outer face, and are in- 
wardly recurved. 
The length of the rectified canine, as preserved, is about two 
inches—to which perhaps a fourth of an inch should be added for 
the tip, which is broken off. The length of the root is 1.1 inch. 
The transverse diameter at base of crown is .4 inch; the antero- 
posterior diameter at same, about 5.5. The hight of the poste- 
rior carina at base of crown is about .1 inch, that of the (broken) 
anterior carina being apparently a little greater. 
The capacious shovel-shaped crown of a lower incisor found 
with the preceding, and marked with a semicircular depressed 
area on the distal half of its upper face, may or may not belong 
to this or another Auchenia. It is a first or ‘pincer,’ canine, and 
its maximum or anterior width is .75 inch. The rather thick 
enamel of the front or lower face of this tooth is marked with 
fine undulating strizform grooves as in the incisors of the ox. 
A cameloid metapodium from ‘‘old river gravel” at Denver, 
Colorado, and two first phalanges from the ‘‘Denver loess,” col- 
lected by Prof. Geo, L. Cannon, indicate animals somewhat larger 
and stouter than those indicated by any of the remains above 
noticed, but which, as their teeth are unknown, cannot yet be de- 
termined. 
The metapodium is 14.13 inches in length and, distally, 3.8 
inches in breadth, the articular extremities, as well as the shaft, 
being stouter, in relation to the metapodium of Auchenia hucr
