Hyrachyus -------- ?
There are three premolars of the upper jaw which we cannot refer to any known species; but they are too imperfect to justify the formation of a new species for their reception.
What appears to be a first premolar is inserted by a single broad fang; it is too much worn to show the characteristic enamel folding, and is peculiarly broad and short. The second premolar shows the usual foldings of _Hyrachyus_; save that a distinct valley enters the tooth from the posterior edge, running forward to the transverse crest, and inclosed by the curving backwards of the internal cone. The crown is nearly square; the basal ridge is scarcely marked at all.
