. Description of new carnivores from the Miocene of western Nebraska. Carnivora, Fossil; Paleontology; Paleontology. Fig. 3. Lower Jaw of Yoang of Dnphrenodon supnbux. 'i nat. size. No. 1589a. In section 17 of Quarry No. 1 was found a fragment of a mandibular ramus with the deciduous sectorial in position and the permanent pT buried in the jaw. The latter tooth is only partially developed. The differ- ent cusps of the deciduous tooth are quite sharp and the heel is of considerable size and completely basin- shaped. The fangs are excessively spread in the an- tero-posterior direction, due to the constant pressure from below by the permanent tooth, and furnish a sure indication of the juvenility of this tooth. Except for its slightly smaller size, the tooth most nearly resembles that of "Cam's" anceps Scott and is here figured for the purpose of warning the student. The specimen may or may not represent Dapkcsnodon Flo. 4. Daphamodon superbus? Fragment of lower jaw of young individual with deciduous sectorial in place and p, bnried in the jaw (No. 2201). Nat. size. The Vertebral Column. The formula of the vertebral column is as follows: cervicals seven, dorsals thir- teen, lumbars seven, sacrals three, and caudals twenty-eight? Witli the exception of the missing region of the caudals, already referred to in the introduction, the vertebral column of the type specimen is in excellent preservation. Atlas.—The atlas is quite long antero-posteriorly. Its large attenuated and wing-like transverse process gives the bone a transverse diameter proportionally equal to that in Cams. Ill general outline the bone is quite similar to that of the latter genus, hut there area number of di defences shown on closer examination which.
