Fig 23. Fore foot of Orcodon. After Scott. Summary of Comparison with Oreodon. In the foregoing description I have compared the bones of Agriochcerus very closely with those of Oreodon, and it now re- mains to summarize the likeness and differences. Agriochcerus resembles Oreodon in the following important characters: (1) The upper canines are enlarged and have the distinctive D-shaped pattern on cross section. (2) The first lower premolar is en larged and caniniform, the lower canine being incisiform. (3) The form of the skull is practically the same, and the foramina.
