To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
515, where this name is recorded. 23 The basis is very narrow and lenticular ; a short distance above it the outer side is convex. The anterior and posterior extensions of the base differ ; the one is thinner, the other more massive and with a shallow groove above its commencement. The latter may be posterior. If so, the compressed apex of the horn-core sends down a rib outwardly to the anteriorly and one inwardly, which disappears on the convex base. The general form is spatulate with the apex... expanded obliquely across the lat- eral crest, and regularly rounded in superior outline. Its anterior face is flat, the posterior convex ; its surface is grooved by very small blood vessels. As compared with the posterior horn-core of Loxolophodon cornutus, there is every difference. That is continuous with one margin of the crest ; this, erect above it ; that has a round base, this a lenticular one. It is more like that of U. Mirabile, which I only know from Marsh's figure, but abundantly distinct.
