Text Appearing Before Image:
214 THE AGE OF MAMMALS to the Old World form. The light-limbed machacrodont, or saber-tooth cats (Dinictis) are characteristic, as well as the first mustelids (Buncelurus) known in this country. Every division of the mammals seems to have differentiated into its plains-living and open country types and forest- and river-living types.
Text Appearing After Image:
Fic. lU- Tlic Lower Oligocene cursorial rhinoceros Hyracodon. Alter unguuil by Charles R. Knight in the American Museum of Natural History. Of the former, we observe, among the rodents, the leporids or hares; among rhinoceroses, the light-limbed hyracodonts; among the lophiodonts, Colodon. The horses of the period are still polyphyletic, — small, exces- sively light-limbed, swift animals, models of grace and beauty. Among carnivores, both the canids and machserodont cats are partly cursorial. The scarcely known camels were also plains-living types, although still brachyodont. The peccaries (Dicotylidae) first appear here. Of the contrasting forest and lowland fauna, among perissodactyls may be cited the titanotheres, found in the Swift Current Creek deposits of British Columbia. The forest-living tapirs are not known. Among artiodactyls, Agriochm-us, a genus of oreodont, also the anthracothere Ancodus are probably river-border or forest animals. The amynodont rhinoceroses now take on a distinctly fluviatile, or river-living type; their remains are found only in the river-channel sandstones. Most of the titanotheres were browsers and frequented river borders in the lower plains.
