The referred lower cheek tooth (figs. 40a-40&) is moderately worn. It is notably small. The groove of the metaconid-metastylid column is sharp but shallow. The wings of the column are moderately elongated and symmetrical. The fold between the protoconid and hypoconid is. Figs. 41o and 41b. Pliohippus francescana minor, n. subsp.

The exterior face of the hypoconid is flattened, while that of the protoconid is rounded. The entoconid is large and oval, as commonly the case in premolars. The referred incisors (figs. 410-41?)) are small, evidently belonging to a form not larger than that represented by the upper teeth (com- pare Bautista, fig. 25).
