Geology. 1921] Prick: Faunas of Bautista Creek and San Timoteo Canon 321 It approaches more the triangular form, being distinctly of less anteroposterior diameter on the outer side than the fifth tooth of the fragment from the White Bluffs. It is also of slightly less transverse width than the fifth tooth of the latter specimen. No. 23373 differs also from the fifth superior tooth of MegaJonyx leidyi in smaller size and in shape. Compared to the corresponding tooth in M. wheatleyi,-^ the California specimen is seen to agree in anteroposterior diameter but differs slightly in transverse width (see measurements above). According to Cope the shape of this tooth in M. wheatleyi is triangular but may vary somewhat in different individuals. The second specimen, no. 23373 (fig. 296), is too fragmentary to allow definite determination. PLIAUCHENIA?, sp. Material.—The section of an artiodactyl metapodial, Univ. Calif. Coll. Vert.

It is believed to represent a large camel of the Pliaiiclienia type, and with the fragmentary remains of the following section suggests the probable prevalence of the camel in the fauna of this horizon. 23 Cope, Edward D.
