J98 ADDITIONS TO TIIE VOSSIL. (14) 
now too in a wide distribution, proof, Ihat they were stronger against 
the catastrophes of the Glacial-periods; in opposition to this the weaker 
disappeared without any trace, or remained in their descendants in 
regions which were perhaps not disturbed by the Glacial periodes." 
These are well illustrated by the genus Varanus on one hand, 
which already does not live more in Europe, and by Pelobates ro- 
bustus on the other, the one probable descendant of which, Pelobates 
sriacus lives now in Asia-Minor and Syria, an other relative Pelobates 
eultripes is a native of Sonth-France and the Iberian Peninsula. 
There is yet an other species of Pelobates in Europe viz. 
Pelobates fuscus, the Garlie-Toad, which has the widest distribution 
of all. I consider this species as the direct descendant of Pelobates 
robustus, evoluting already in the Pızweglacial periode, the proofs being 
the ileum’s of Püspökfürdö and Beremend. 
| refer however the Beremend ileum rather to Pelobales robustus, 
regarding the presence of Varanus deserlicolus. 
CGonsidering the fact, that the Angais remains of Püspökfürdö 
are most nearly related to ihe typical Angwis fragilis, if not exactly 
identical with it, the ileum of Püspökfürdö belongs more probably to 
Pelobates fuscus. 
We eould search for the relation or origin regarding our fauna 
in the Pyrenees, that is to say in the Iberian Peninsula. 
So we are looking in vain for the relation of Zamenis hunga- 
rieus between the form-group of Zamenis Dahlit Fırz. or Zamenis 
semonensis Laur., we rather find that in the form-group of Zamenis 
hippoerepis L. 
This supposition is thoroughly justified by the Macacus remains 
naving found by Mr. Kormos at Csarnöta” hardly distinguishable from 
the Macacus innuus, living now on the extreme south of Spain and 
in Moroceo. 
The species treated in this article has undergoing from the 
Pannonian periode on some changes only, caused by the slow changes 
in the elimatie and soil conditions. The only visible result of this 
changes was, that the skeleton of Reptiles and Amphi- 
bians has lost its former robust structure. 
It had to be conspieuous already at Ihe course of my deseriptions,
