if they be tolerably moral, though they very seldom are even approxi- 
mately so." 
Haddonfield, April 9, 1873 * * "I am in a bad fix in one respect. 
The four plates thee has seen (in 800) of Loxo cornutus were to have 
been published by the Philos. Soc. but the delay in getting permission 
to print them was so great that when the permission came I had them 
out. I would not wait on account of 's criticisms. I also 
learned that the lithographer charged $30.00 apiece, so large a sum 
that the secretaries withdrew permission and said I must ask the so- 
ciety. I did so, and some one to whom I had given copies of the 
paper (Dr. ) asserted that they had been already published. 
and others of that stamp then said it was irregular and they 
threw the whole thing out. I now have to pay the bill for drawing 
and printing the societies (series ?) of 1,000 copies which is about, for 
drawing, $120; printing 1,000 at 1.25 p. 100 (each), $50.00; and finally 
for printing 2,350 copies for my reply in the American Naturalist, 
$120.00: total, $290.00" * * 
Haddonfield, May 26. 1873 * * "I write briefly to say that the 
U. S. Geolog. Survey has taken the six plates" * * "after much 
delay, but I have to pay for printing an edition of 3,325 copies for Am. 
Naturalist and self, which cost some $80.00." 
Greeley, Col.. August 6, 1873 * * "I have had great success 
since I wrote from Pine Bluffs, having at last reached the strata which 
contain most of the fossils. I have at least 70 species of Vertebrata, 
all Mammalia except five. I have explored two horizons, the lower 
and the richer containing 50 of the species. It is largely a new fauna 
also, and quite distinct from those of Nebraska or Wyoming. I have 
some 15 odd-toed hoofed (Perissodactyla), 10 Carnivora, 13 Rodents, 
3 Insectivora, but no Proboscidia as yet. It will form a division of the 
Miocene period. 
"The most remarkable of the forms are the species of huge Peris- 
sodactyla with horns; which I have found, and which correspond 
largely with the horned proboscidians I found in Wyoming in respect 
to the .position of the horns. Thus one has rudimental horns, one on 
each side of the nose; another, prodigiously long horns in the same 
singular position; a third, very large horns right over the eyes as in 
Loxolophodon coruntum! They are, however, but little related to the 
latter, but are not very far removed from the Rhinoceros and Palae- 
otherium. I named the species in the order mentioned, Megaceratops 
heloceras; M. acer, and Miobasileus ophryae. The skulls are about 3 
feet in length." "I found some hundreds of jaws of rodents with a 
good many perfect crania." 
"Pine BlufTs, Wy., U. P. R.R., August 13, 1873. * * Mammalian 
bones are very abundant in some places and I obtained 18-20 species 
very soon. One of the novelties is a weasel-like carnivore; another a 
large species of Rhinoceros with deficient dentition as to numbers, but 
greatly increased as to size of teeth. I call it Aphelops megalodus. 
The species of camels and horses are most numerous."
