Barstow Miocene, Mohave Desert, California. A fragmentary specimen, no. 21218 (fig. 136), shows Dm4 and Mt. Both teeth resemble Dromomeryx in general form. They have the exceedingly rough enamel, the inner cusp between the protoconid and hypoconid pillars, and the shelf of the cingulum found in Dromomeryx. The dimensions of M, are near those of specimens of Dromomeryx from the Snake Creek beds of Nebraska. They differ from Dromomeryx in entire absence of the palaeomeryx fold, and in the greater length of Mx than in the Dromomeryx specimens known to the writer. CERVIDAE DROMOMERYX or CERVUS?, n. 136.
