Comparison of several specimens of C. ferox does not confirm the supposed differ- ence in tliis species in the separation and different outline of the two last mentioned facets on the cuboid. These facets are much less definite in the available specimens of ^^ than in C. montanensis, but differ little in outline. Dr. Gidley's important conclusion that the present limb bones are closely similar to those of Claenodon ferox is certainly correct and is only emphasized by these slight corrections of details. The C. mon- tanensis material is Uttle over half of the size of that of C. ferox, and it differs in details of proportion, strength of processes, or rugosities. »i The artist has made their outline far too distinct in Gidley, 1919, pi. 28, fig.
