CHAPTER IV.—P. 79.
THE PLEIOCENE MAMMALIA.
The following Lists of the Pleiocene mammalia are founded upon those published by Professor Gervais (Zool. et Paléont. Franç. p. 349 et seq.), with the addition of certain species which have been determined by Dr. Falconer, Dr. Forsyth Major, and myself.
A. LOWER PLEIOCENE MAMMALS OF FEANCE, STAGE OF MONTPELLIER.

RODENTIA.
Chalicomys sigmodus, Gerv. Lagomys loxodus, Gerv.
Primates, Simiadæ

SEA.
B. UPPER PLEIOCENE MAMMALIA OF FRANCE, STAGE OF MONT PERRIER AND ISSOIRE.
Proboscidea.
Mastodon arvernensis, Cr. et Job. Elephas meridionalis (of Malbattu), Nesti.
Ungulata Perissodactyla.
Rhinoceros (elatus?). Tapirus arvernensis, Cr. et Job. Hipparion gracile (of Malbattu), Kaup.
Ungulata Artiodactyla.
Sus arvernensis, Cr. et Job.

C. PLEIOCENE MAMMALIA OF ITALY, THE UPPER VAL D'ARNO.
(Forsyth Major, Soc. Ital. di Antrop et di Etnol., 20th April 1876, p. 10.)
Proboscidea.
Mastodon arvernensis, Cr. et Job. Elephas meridionalis, Nesti.
Ungulata Perissodactyla.
Rhinoceros etruscus, Falc. „ megarhinus, Falc. Equus Stenonis, Cocchi.
Ungulata Artiodactyla.

Ungulata Artiodactyla Ruminantia.
Carnivora.
Rodentia.
Castor plicidens, Major. Hystrix. „ rosiniæ, Major. Lepus.
Primates, Simiadæ.
The megarhine Rhinoceros has been determined by Dr. Falconer, the Cervus etueriarum and C. perrieri by myself, the former in the Geological Museum of the University of Bologna, and in the Castello Valentino in Turin, and the latter in the Museum of the University of Florence. In the last museum there are specimens of Machairodus latidens, Ow., and M. cultridens of Kaup.
* ↑ The age of the Hempstead beds is under discussion. In the text it is treated as Meiocene.
* ↑ Les Enchainements, c. 1.
* ↑ This Eocene genus is too imperfect to be satisfactorily defined.
* ↑ This Eocene genus has not been satisfactorily defined.
* ↑ 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.
