Abstract
With Plate IX.) THE genus Elothe'l'i1l1n, established by Pomel in 1847, represents a family of extinct mammals, all of much interest.They were first found in Europe, but now are known in the Miocene of North America, not only on the Atlantic coast, but especially in the Rocky Mountain region, and still further west.This family includes several genera, or subgenera, and quite a number of species, some of which contain individuals of large size, only surpassed in bulk among their contemporaries by members of the Rhinoee1'Os family, and of the huge B1'ontothel'idro.Remains of this group have thus beeu known for nearly half a century, yet, Ulltil recently, comparatively little had been determined with certainty regarding the skeleton, or of the skull except the dentition, although Aymard, Leidy, Kowalevsky, and others, have made interesting contributions to the subject.In a late paper,* the writer gave figures of a finely preserved skull, and also of a fore and hind foot, of one of the largest species, Elothenum e'l'assum, Marsh, and in the present article an attempt is made to restore the entire skele• ton of this animal, to serve as a typical example of the group.The restoration, one-twelfth natural size, given on Plate IX, represents a fully adult individual, which, when alive, was more than seven feet in length and about four feet in height.The basis of this restoration is the type specimen of Etothe-1'i1tm m'(tssum, which was found by the writer in 1870, in the Miocene beds of northeastern Colorado, and described in 1873.tA number of other specimens since obtained in the same region, and still others from essentially the same horizon in South Dakota, all evidently pertaining to this species, were likewise used in the restoration.
