Extract

More detailed examination of the material collected by Mr. Beadnell and myself in the Fayûm in 1901 has led to the recognition of two additional species of Mœritherium, and has made it clear that the Sirenian belongs to a distinct genus, which presents some characters of much interest and is nearly related to Prototherium (Halitherium) veronense, described by Zigno from remains found in beds of Upper Eocene age at Monte Zuello in Northern Italy.

The generic name Eotherium had been previously employed by Leidy in 1853 for a genus of Perissodactyla, and therefore, strictly, the name Eotheroides suggested by Palmer (Science, N.S., vol. x, 1899, p. 494) should be employed for this Sirenian, but in the present paper I prefer to continue to use the name by which it is best known.Google Scholar
