Excerpt from The Merycoidodontidae, an Extinct Group of Ruminant Mammals
No new species are herein proposed, but all of the established genera and species are rede scribed, with much more complete diagnostic data in nearly every instance than were given in the original descriptions. This has led me to assign various Species to genera other than those given by their makers, while in other species I have indicated wherein I believe synonymy lies.
Many type Specimens are figured for the first time, and additional illustrations of most of the other types are presented, so that as a consequence a considerable number of the text figures and a very large proportion of the plates have not been previously published.
