Extract

The genus Elotherium, established by Pomelin1847, represents a family of extinct mammals, all of much interest. They were first foundinEurope, 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 Rhinoceros family, and of the huge Brontotherid
