The premolars of the type specimen are imperfect. On a specimen (no. 23128) associated with the type the premolars are well preserved and have approximately the same dimensions as those imperfectly represented on the type specimen. It is presumed that no. 23128 represents the same form as the type though this cannot be proved with the material available. All of the premolars in no. 23128 show external and internal cingula. They are at least as hypsodont as in Merycochoerus pro- prius, and were probably longer than in that form. In the state of wear shown in the material available it is not evident that the pre- molars were more hypsodont than in M. buwaldi of the Barstow. The.
