Text Appearing Before Image:
erica;and by an excellent coloured reproduction of the skeleton ofPhenacodus primcevus (Cope), from the Eocene of WyomingTerritory, U.S.A. (see p. 28). Nos. 20 and9. Sub-order 6.—Toxodontia. Under this sub-order are placed some large extinct Mammals Toxodon.found in the Newer Tertiary deposits of South America, whose Pier-case,exact zoological position is still rather uncertain. No* 20# Here are arranged incisor-teeth, also the skull and lowerjaw and some limb-bones of an animal named Toxodon, pro-bably larger than a horse, but having Rodent-like incisor-teeth in its jaws (the name being founded on the bow-like formof these teeth). The remains of this remarkable animal wereobtained from the Pleistocene deposits (Pampas-formation)of Buenos Ayres. A plaster cast of an allied form Toxodontotherium is alsoshown. From the same deposits was also obtained a large portion ofthe skeleton of another aberrant form, related to the above,but belonging to a much smaller animal, named Typotherium.
Text Appearing After Image:
Sub-order 7.—Astrapotheria. Nesodon, another Tertiary genus, discovered in South Pier-case,America, has been provisionally referred to this sub-order. An No* 20>upper and a lower jaw of the smallest species (Nesodon ovinus,Owen)*, from the S.W. Coast of Patagonia, are preserved in thecollection. They were brought home by Admiral Sir B. J.Sidivan, K.C.B.
