Companso)is.—The canines are apparently too large to be referred to the material here described under Prostliennops edensis. The specimens are larger and longer than the canine associated with the Prosthennojys-like teeth from the Thousand Creek, the same measuring but 27 mm. on the outer curve from tip to alveolus. The two canines are believed to be too elongate for reference to any of the forms which have been associated under the genera Prostliennops or MijloJiiius. The heavier tooth might well represent such a canine as that described hy Professor Cope under Platygonus hicalcaratus.*'^ Tlie 43 Cope, Edw. D.
