Abstract
In studying fossil camels of the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History, rare specimen of cameloid was recognized. This specimen (catalogue number 4799) consists of right maxillary with well preserved first and second molar teeth moderately worn at the crown, much reduced fourth premolar and the broken alveolus of third molar. The specimen was collected by Dr. Claude W. Hibbard and museum party in 1937 from an exposure along Shorts Creek, Meade County, Kansas, sec. 31, T.33 S, R.28 W. The formation, as described to me by Hibbard, is stream deposit, containing numerous fossil shells. The position of the beds in the Pleistocene section is unknown. This specimen was mentioned by Smith (1940, p. 105) of the State Geological Survey as a small Pleistocene camel. The mollusks mentioned by Smith were taken just west and across the section line in sec. 36.
