There are found too reiiiaiiis of : Clstado /iddria Marisili, of a 

 Frog and of Fishes. 



Of great importance are the remains of 

 plants, from whicli especially seeds were 

 carefully collected by Mr. Stuns. They 

 enable us to form a conclusion concerning 

 the climate and thereby concerning the 

 time in whicli the plants lived. And that 

 is so much the more desirable as remains 

 of Elephants have not yet been encoun- 

 tered, among the mammalian remains. The 

 species already determined are : 



Viburnum sp., Prunus sp., Trapa natans 

 L., Cornus mas L., Vitis vinifera L., Sta- 

 pliylea pinnata Ij., Juglans tejj/uvdes Ung., 

 jSfuphar luteum L., Stratiotes WehsteriVoi., 

 Abies pectinata DC, Chara sp. 



That is an assemblage of animals and 

 plants which can only be preglacial in 

 the sense of prepleistocene. The group of 

 Mammals is distinguished from that of the 

 Sands of Moosbach, which are now gQnQ-

to the wliole a Tertiary character and make, for themselves, the 



e([nivalence of the Clay of Tegelen with the Cromer Forest-Bed

of the ^'It'/.v-group (6'. etueruiruin, probably nearly related to tlie new 



species from Tegelen), a second species has been described from tiie 



somewhat older Norwich Crag; from the Pliocene of central France 



there are described as many as six species. Cervus teguliensis closely 



resembles C. tetrnceros, Boyd Dawkins, from the youngest beds of that 



Pliocene, characterised by Elephas meridionalis, ami from the Cromer 



Forest-Bed, but the antler of the large Deer of Tegelen never obtained 



more than three tines. The other Mammals of tlie Clay of Tegelen 



are all known from the Cromer Bed. The [u-eaeuce of Equus Sienonis
