An imperfect skull of an old male (No. ]()7;!90) from I’ine Valley .'Mt., 
southwest rtah, ditiers from the type in having still smaller ti'eth both 
above and l)elow, the molars, 4th premolar, and canines being hut littk* 
larger than those of the female from the type locality. 
The old male tyi)e of utahemis, conii)ared with adult and old males of 
hdtrdi (the only neigh])oring species of apiu'oximately the same size*), 
ilitt'ers as tollows: Rostrum longer and decidedl}'narrower; ha.se of ros¬ 
trum in front of orl)its more coinj^ressed ; postorbital proce.s.ses longer and 
mori' slender; j)alate longer; po.stpalatal shelf narrower; interi)terygoid 
canal much dee])er; ramus ol jaw longer, decidedly broader (vertically), 
Hatter, and much thinner under 2d and od molars; upper inolariform 
teeth, middle lower.molar, and lower canine much smaller. 
Craii/ial characters of female: An adult female (No. I(S0207) from the 
type locality is similar in general characters to the male, hut much smaller 
and somewhat le.ss extreme. Skull long and narrow; frontalsand fronto¬ 
nasal region essentially .same hut sagittal crest shorter; zygomata rela¬ 
tively as well as actually much narrower (much le.ss spreading) and not 
outhowed ; rostrum narrowest anteriorly: molars smaller; canines much 
smalku'.
