term employed by See also:Cuvier to include all the existing artiodactyle ruminating ungulate mammals now classed under the See also:groups See also:Pecora, See also:Tylopoda and TraguIina. By See also:Professor Max See also:Weber it is employed as a collective designation for these groups, together with the See also:extinct Anthracotheroidea and Dichobunoidea; but its use seems best restricted to a See also:general term rather than a definite systematic See also:group.
