Skull of young specimen of Stenomylus hitchcocki Loomis. it is composed of parts of six different individuals. It was originally mounted on a separate base, and temporarily placed in the collection of the paleontological exhibit until it could be used in thepresent group. The skeleton of the female on the other hand pertains to one individual, except the right scapula, the sternum (No. 2,787), and a number of ribs. The distinguishing features of the female skeleton are seen in the less robust development of the different parts, and the larger pelvic cavity. Altogether the group expresses life and action, such as we may well imagine to have been common to these small and very graceful animals. Measurements. .Male. Female. Voung. Cm. Cm. Cm.
