result of his field work in the preceding summer. Granger obtained
specimens, usually poorly preserved, but occasionally rather abundant
locally, from various levels up to within 150 feet of the western rim
of the badlands basin. This collection was obviously of Torrejonian or
middle Paleocene age. In the 1917 report, Granger gave as a faunal list
the following species:

_Tetraclaenodon_
_Mioclaenus turgidus_
_Periptychus rhabdodon_
_Anisonchus sectorius_
_Protogonodon sp. nov._
_Tricentes_
_Deltatherium_
_Psittacotherium_

To this list should be added _Triisodon antiquus_, a specimen of which
is stated by Matthew to come from Kutz Canyon in his monograph
(1937:80) on the Paleocene faunas of the San Juan Basin.

In the summer of 1948, a field party from the University of Kansas was
fortunate in finding a local concentration of rather well preserved
material at the western edge of the badlands at Angels Peak. Because it
probably will be some time before a full account of this faunule can be
prepared, it is thought advisable, preliminarily, to give a general
statement as to occurrence, and tentatively to list the species.

OCCURRENCE

The mammalian fossils, numbering approximately 150 specimens, were all
obtained within a small area located in the NW 1/4 of sec. 14, T. 27 N,
R. 11 W, San Juan County, New Mexico. The specimens were collected from
a zone of reddish silt three to four feet in thickness. The actual bone
layer, not as yet located, may prove to be thinner than this. Almost
all the material was recovered from approximately 100 linear yards of
outcrop. A few specimens, however, were obtained at varying distances
away from this central area, as far distant perhaps as one-half mile.
Of these, nineteen were at the same level stratigraphically, and only
one was lower (by 70 feet) in the section. This latter specimen,
representing a new genus and species of Primates, is not certainly
duplicated by material at the main concentration. Seemingly, the others
are.

The red zone at the "bone pocket" carries many concretionary masses
which frequently contain the fossil specimens. Not all specimens,
however, are from such lumps.

Even within the area of greatest concentration, specimens are of
sporadic occurrence. A low ridge, a few feet high, may have abundant
material weathering from the rock on one slope, but have the opposite
side barren. Occasionally, a small r
