12 KEPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLIII. 



collected the materials of the Zoology of the Voyage of 

 H.M.S. Sulphur, under the command of Captain Sir E. 

 Belcher. Mammalia by J. E. Gray. Lond. 1843. 2d Part. 



The diagnoses of the greater part of the species had been previously given 

 by Gray, and were noticed in our last year's Report. These are now fol- 

 lowed by descriptions, greater detail in which is certainly not unfrequently 

 to be desired. The figures are beautifully executed. The Mammalia are 

 concluded in this second part. 



As contributions, of a more general nature, to the Fauna 

 of the Mammalia of the ancient world, are briefly to be 

 adduced : 



H. v. Meyer, ' Summary View of the Fossil Vertebrata of the Tertiary Basin 

 of Mayence' (Jahrb. fur Mineralog. 3843, p. 379), to which succeed re- 

 marks upon the fossil Mammalia of the Brown-coal of theWesterwald, of the 

 Mardolce-caves in Sicily, and of the diluvial formation of Mosbach (ib. p. 

 581), and also on the Mammalian remains from various regions (ib. p. 698). 

 Owen's ' Reports on the Fossil Mammalia of England' (Instit. 1843, p. 55) 

 have now appeared in a separate work, which will be adverted to in the next 

 Report. Pomel ' On the Fossil Mammalia of the Auvergne' (Instit. 1843, 

 p. 218). Memoria per servire all' illustraziouc dei grandi Mammifcri fossili, 

 esistcnti nell gabinetto di Santa Teresa in Milano, p. G. Balsamo Crivelli. 

 Milauo, 1842, (briefly abstracted in the Isis, 1843, p. 629). A. v. Nord- 

 manu, ' Ueber die bis jetzt mir bekannt gewordenen Fundorte von fossilen 

 Knocheu in Siidrusslaud ' (On the Localities of Fossil Bones in South 

 Russia). (Bullet, de la Classe physico-mathematique de 1' Academic des 

 Sci. de St. Petersbourg, i. 1843, p. 197.) J. H. Cooper, on the Fossils 

 found in the construction of the New Brunswick Canal, in Georgia (Ann. 

 Nat. Hist. xii. p. 70). In the recent clay alluvium the bones of the Ncga- 

 tlierium occur, together with those of Mastodon, giganteum, Hippopotamus, 

 the Mammoth, and Horse. The bones were not worn, and many belonging to 

 the same skeleton were met with grouped together. An abstract of Lund's 

 latest contributions to the ancient and present Fauna of Brazil have been 

 given by the Reporter in these Archives (p. 347), and some remarks 

 appended. The ' Litcratur liber Fahrten and Fahrten-Abdriickc urwelt- 

 liclier Thiere in den Gcsteineu der festen Erdrindc ' (Literature on tin: 

 subject of the footsteps and impressions of footsteps of extinct animals in the 

 rocks of the earth's crust), has been collected with great completeness by 

 R. Bernhardi in the 'Hallescheu Literaturzcitung,' 1S43, complementary 

 .sheet, p. 441.
