_Lower Jaw._--Dr. Leidy has very kindly sent us some of the lower
molars of an undescribed _Uintatherium_, which may belong to this
species. They consist of the anterior lobe of the last molar, and
second and third premolars entire. They all have nearly the same
conformation, consisting of three acute pyramidal lobes, of which
the anterior is very much the highest and broadest; the median
lobe is partly separated from the anterior by a valley which opens
outwards, while the valley between the posterior and median lobes
passes completely across the tooth. The highest point of the crown
is the inner end of the anterior lobe; but the difference between
this and the outer end, very great in the molars, becomes slight in
the premolars. The inner end has an accessory tubercle just at the
lip of the anterior lobe, and there is another on the anterior basal
ridge. This latter feature would seem to distinguish it from _U.
robustum_.
The basal ridge is distinct in front and behind, indistinct on the
external side, and entirely absent from the internal.
