1 Apparently transitional between the Perpignan and the Val d'Amo 

 horizons ; see Deperet, ' Theses Facult. Sci. Paris,' ser. A, no. 67 Bassin 

 Tertiaire de Rousillon, p. 240 (1885). 



2 Depe>et (op. cit. p. 232), who retains the Pikermi and allied groups in the 

 Upper Miocene, proposes the term Middle Pliocene for the Astien stage. 



3 According to Deperet (&p. cit. p. 243) the marine fauna of the Plaisancien 

 must be grouped with the land Astien fauna. 



4 According to Vacek, Abh. k.-k. geol. Reich, vol. vii. pt. 4, p. 13 (1877), 

 Mastodon angustidens occurs in the Baltringen beds. 



5 Sgualodon catulli of these beds has been recorded from Baltringen.
