The neural spine of the first dorsal is broken off about ten centimeteis above the neural arch, but judging from the size of the fracture, the spinous process attained a length equal, and perhaps even proportionally greater, than was the case in T. validum, w'th which the Uinta remains have been compared. The second, third, fourth, and fifth dorsals have their spines very nearly complete. In proportion they agree quite well with those of the Oligocene genus, but are more strongly inclined backward. As in Titanotherium the transverse processes are not extremely heavy and the capitular facets for the libs are of large size, while the sides of the centra are deeply concave. The latter are deeper than broad and the inferior borders, especially the posterior ones, are distinctly more keeled than in Titanotherium. Back of the eighth dorsal there is a break in the vertebral column and a number of bones are lost. A second block, which was found, together with the one just described, contains portions of six posterior dorsals and three lumbar vertebrae (see Fig. 6). The neural spines of. ('.
