This species belongs to the group _G. Egertonii_, Ag., having the two edges subequal and symmetrical. A single tooth from Cement Gulch, Col.

_CESTRACIONTIDÆ._

"Two dorsal fins, an anal; nasal and buccal cavities confluent. Teeth obtuse, several series being in function." (Günther.)

SYSTEMATIC CATALOGUE

OF THE

EOCENE VERTEBRATES OF WYOMING.

Although we have endeavored to make this catalogue as complete and accurate as possible, we feel that errors and omissions are, from the nature of the case, unavoidable. The material is so vast and heterogeneous, and is so much scattered throughout numberless reports, bulletins, journals, and the like, that its correct compilation is attended with great difficulties. However, a beginning is here made which will render subsequent work easier. Owing to the great number of discoveries which have since been made, Dr. Leidy's excellent catalogue of 1871 covers now but a very small portion of the ground.

In this list we have made no attempt to decide disputed questions of priority and synonymy. Doubtless, many of the genera and species here given will be found to be synonyms of American or European forms; but at present these questions cannot be settled. Where synonyms are given, they are the determinations of the original describer indicated in subsequent publications
