THE MEIOCENE MAMMALIA.

A. THE LOWER MEIOCENE MAMMALIA OF FRANCE.

The mammals which appear to me to characterise the Lower Meiocenes^[1] of France are chosen from Professor Gervais' work (Op. cit. pp. 341 et seq.) They consist of the following species derived from—1. St. Gérand-le-Puy (Allier); 2, Vaumas and St. Pourcin- Sur-Hètre (Allier); 3, Issoire, Volvic, Puy-de-dome.

LOWER MEIOCENE MAMMALIA OF FRANCE.

Marsupialia.

Didelphys = Peratherium (3).^[2]

Hyænodon leptorhynchus, Laiz. (3).

Ungulata Perissodactyla.

Rhinoceros minutus (3), Cuvier.

Tapirus Poireri (2), Pomel.

↑ The mammalia of Ronzon, Villebramar, and Le Puy-en-Velay, considered by Professor Gaudry (Les Enchainements, p. 5, and Les Animaux Fossiles de Mont Léberon, 4to, p. 86) to belong to a still lower stage of the Meiocene, will probably ultimately be classified with the Upper Eocene, as Professor Gervais suggests, Pal. Franç. p. 334.
↑ These numbers relate to the above localities.
