Unfortunately the material that has been obtained consists only of scattered bones with small fragments of the skull and a few teeth. The foot- bones represented show a considerable range in size, and indicate the presence of at least two forms at Thousand Creek, and two at Virgin Valley. One of the species at Thousand Creek included. Figs. 50a and 50b. Camel, compare Camelus americanus Wortman. M3. No. 12765, X%. Thousand Creek Beds, Thousand Creek, Nevada.
