. Description of new carnivores from the Miocene of western Nebraska. Carnivora, Fossil; Paleontology; Paleontology. Measurements of Entocuneiform. Mm. Greatest antero-posterior diameter 13 Greatest transverse diameter 7 Greatest vertical diameter 16 Mesocuneiform. — The mesocuneiform has relatively a greater antero-posterior and a lesser transverse diameter, especially of the distal face, than is the case in Daphosnus. Consequently the bone, which is triangular in outline when viewed from below, has a longer apex directed backward than is seen in the Ohgocene genus. The facet for the navicular is (g, /J slightly less oblique than in Daphcenus, but £ has the same antero-posterior concavity. On the tibial face there is a large facet for 4 the entOCUneiform which is located On the FlG- 47- Mesocuneiform (right side) of D. superbvs. .. r ., -, -, .

On the fibular face, near the proximal angle, is a facet for the entocuneiform which extends throughout the entire fibular face, antero-posteriorly, but is of small vertical diameter and corresponds to a facet on the tibial face of the ectocuneiform. Distally the bone is taken up by the facet for Mt. II. Measurements of Mesocuneiform. Mm.
