The astragalus (fig. 15) is considerably broken and worn. It is distinctly smaller than any specimens of Capromeryx minor Taylor. Figs. 15a to 16. Capromeryx!', sp.

Bautista beds, California. from Raneho La Brea in the collections of the University of California. It further differs in having a larger and deeper fossa, and in being proportionately broader with the mid-dorsal groove of the proximal trochlea surface more shallow. The specimens suggest the occurrence of a small undescribed species of Capromeryx, even more diminutive than the Rancho La Brea form, which represents one of the smallest of Pleistocene ungulates.
