INTRODUCTION. 3 The remarkable Eocene basin North of the Uinta Mountains, where alone the Dinocerata had been found, offered so inviting a field for exploration, that in the spring of the following year, 1871, the author began its systematic investigation. An expedition was again organized, with an escort of United States soldiers, and the work continued during the entire season. Among the very large collections thus secured, were numerous specimens of the Dinocerata, Avhich furnished important characters of the Map showing region of Dinoceeas beds. In the succeeding spring, 1872, the explorations in this region were continued, and soon resulted in the discovery of the tyjje sjiecimen, including the skull and a large portion of the skeleton, of Dinoceras mirabile, and on this new genus the author based the order Dinocerata.
