Plate XV., fig. 15 View PLATE XV .
This early type of mammal is represented by a single tooth, a premolar, having two, slightly divergent roots. The crown is in the form of a laterally compressed cone, somewhat rounded above, angular in front, evenly rounded behind, with a well defined, undulating cingulum encircling its base. A slight lateral concavity, more clearly defined within, occurs in each side of the tooth near the base of the crown in line with the cleft between the roots. The cingulum is angular and pl'ominent at either end, becoming rounded and broader on the sides. The crown is considerably worn on the inner side of its apex. One root only remains and it is imperfect below.
