Kesslerloch near Thayingen and other caves, descriptive notes on 
the several figured specimens of stone, antler, bone, &c., and dis- 
cussions as to the relative and positive dates of the Cave-dwellers 
complete the memoir. 
The author thinks 4000 years a sufficient period to allow of the 
habitation of the cave, after the lowest bed with Mammoth-bones 
had been washed in and the waters drained off, and for the forma- 
tion of the bed with flint knives and hearth-stuff and subsequent 
accumulations. 
The plates illustrate :—flint-cores and flakes, the latter mostly 
simple, rarely dressed or worked; simply pointed harpoon-heads, 
of various patterns and ornament ; bone chisels ; eyed needle, simple 
awls and piercers, rippers and smoothers, made of antler ; perforated 
ornaments or charms of wood, shell, and bone; cut antlers ; a piece 
of elephant-bone, and a portion of a human skull fractured by a 
blunt implement ; also a view of the Rosenhalde and diagrams of 
the cave and its deposits.

M. Mitne-Epwarps proposes another scheme for the arrangement 
of the Mammalia. Like all these schemes, it contains some good 
points and shows some affinities; but these multitudes of arrange- 
ments are of great detriment to the progress of science. 
M. Alphonse Milne-Edwards gives a good figure of the Liberian 
hippopotamus from life, a figure of its skeleton, and details of its 
skull, brain, &c., the two latter showing that Morton was quite right 
in regarding this animal as a distinct species and genus from the 
common hippopotamus, of which some zoologists consider it only a 
pygmy race. 
M. Alphonse Milne-Edwards describes and figures the following 
new forms of Mammalia from China and Thibet :— 
1. Rhinopithecus Rowellane. A monkey with a slightly elongate 
recurved nose, from Eastern Thibet. 
2. Ailuropus melanoleucus. A large black-and-white bear with 
a very short broad head, from Thibet. 
3. Scaptochirus moschatus. A genus allied to the mole, from 
Mongolia. 
4, Nyctogale elegans. An iridescent water-Insectivoree 
5. Scaptonyx fuscicaudatus ; 6. Uropsilus soricipes ; and 7. Anouro- 
sorex squamipes. Allied to the shrewmice. 
Besides these, he figures and describes, almost all as new :—twe
