to assign to it a definite place in the Pachydermata. Jaws of LopMo- 

 meryoo Chalaniati. Several molars of Cadurcotherium. An upper jaw 

 of Chalicothermm, from which the writer proposes to found a new 

 species to be named Ch. modicum. An upper molar and several pre- 

 moloTS of Lophiodon lautricense, Noulet ( = i/. rhinocerodes of Riitimeyer). 

 In these phosphatic deposits, therefore, U. and M. Eocene forms are 

 found associated with some of L. Miocene facies. E. T. N. & G. A. L.

 Bemains of the following animals have been found in this locality in 

 a yellowish, somewhat gravelly marl filling up a basin-shaped hollow 

 in the surface of Neoeomian rocks :— Elephant, Rhinoceros, Hippopo- 

 tamus, stags and oxen, and a species of Cants ; a fish allied to the 

 Barbel, and several land and freshwater shells. Plants of species 

 scarcely, if at all, distinct from living ones were also found. The 

 skeletons are nearly all complete. The Durfort Elephant is referable 

 to the Eleplias meridionalis of Paul Savi, characteristic of the Yal 

 d'Arno deposits, near Elorence. G. A. L.

 Ucder the above name are included the Seals, Sirenians, and families 

 of the "Whales. The author describes the portion of a skull of Zeu- 

 glodon cetioides, sent by Harlan to He Blainville, and, from a considera- 

 tion of a cast of so much of the interior of the brain-cavity as is 

 preserved, concludes that Zeuglodon resembles the Seals. E. T. N.

 The Macliairodus tooth from the Phosphatic deposits of Tarn-et- 

 Garonne, which the author formerly thought to be like the correspond- 

 ing tooth in Drepanodus primcevus, Leidy, is now found, from the 

 examination of better specimens from Caylus, to be a new species allied 

 io M. pcdmidms^hvii having the upper canines much more elongated 

 and compressed; it has therefore received the name of If. perarmatus.
