The type of this species possesses the main characters of Dinoceras, but, in the premaxillaries, palate, and brain-cavity, shows an approach to Tinoceras, especially Tinoceras pugnax. It apparently represents a sub-genus of Dinoceras, which va&j be called Paroceras. The type specimen of this species (number 1039) was obtained in August, 1873, by Mr. L. Lamotte and the author, near Spanish John's Meadow, Wyoming. This specimen consists of a skull, lower jaws, vertebra;, etc. A second specimen, a female (number 1202), consisting of a skull and other parts of the skeleton, was found by the author, in August, 1873, near Henry's Fork, about thirty miles west of Green River, Wyoming. Additional specimens are numbers 1197, 1222, 1239, and 1264. The geological horizon of this species is in the Dinoceras beds of the Middle Eocene. The known remains of this species are in Yale College Museum. Dinoceras lucare, Marsh. (Plate IX.)
