FIG. 2.-UPPER AND LOWER TEETH OF " MESOHIPPUS BAIRDI," FROM THE MIDDLE OLIQOCENE OF SOUTH DAKOTA. NATURAL SIZE exhibited in the counter-case, besides the specimens sh( >\vn in the series of feet and in the series of skulls. 8. Anchitherium. Lower Miocene. This stage has been found both in Europe and in America. It is much like its prede- cessor, but is larger and has the crests of the teeth somewhat higher and more complete. It probably is not in the direct line of descent of the horses, but is on a side branch. A palate, jaws, teeth and foot-bones are exhibited liere. g. Parahippus and Hypohippus. Middle Miocene. In Par- ahippiis tlie tooth-crests are mucli higher, and the transverse ridges on tlie upper molars are beginning to change shape so as to become a second ):)air of crescents inside the outer pair. Hypo- hippus is off the direct Hne of descent; its teeth are Hke those of Anchitlieriiiin, by which name it has been generally called, but the animal was much larger, equalling a Shetland pony in size. A complete skeleton of the Hypohippus is shown in wall-case 15, and illustrates very well the general cliaracters of the Three-Toed Horses, although it is not in the direct Hne. This specimen was found near Pawnee Buttes, Colorado, in 1901 by Bamum Brown, of the Whitney expedition. Other incomplete specim.ens of Hypohippus, Parahippus and Merychippus are shown in the counter-case, and casts of the feet and skull in the evolution se- ries in A-Case 49. It may be observed tliat in the forefoot of
