 Describes a series of remains, in the Zoological Museum, Copenhagen, 

 brought from the plain of the La Plata, near Buenos Ayres. Setting 

 aside as invalid Prof. Kroyer's name of Platygnathus jplatensis, the 

 author adopts Lestodon armatus, Gervais. Keasons are adduced for 

 generic separation from Mylodon of Owen. H. M.

Description of two horns in the Museum of the Nat. Hist. Soc. of 



Dantzig. One of these is the original specimen described by C. E. Yon 



Baer as Bos Pallasii ; the other is a similar specimen, also found in the 



Drift of Dantzig, but hitherto undescribed. Both exhibit cuts, artificially 



produced. The relation of these horns to those of Buhalus is pointed 



out ; but the author suggests that until further remains should be found 



they should be referred to Yon Baer's Bos Pallasii. F. W. R.

The remains from Swiss Lake-dwellings belong to the ordinary 



species ; but in Italy and Auvergne other forms, e. g. K Stenonis, are 



recognized. Teeth of intermediate afiinities are found in the cave at 



Thayingen, in which incised portraits of the horse on lignite, &c., have 



also been found. E. B. T.

Part of a skull with a horn from alluvium near Dantzig shows that 



the Bufi'alo existed in Europe; the horn is short and straight, and 



nearest to the Asiatic Arncc Three other occurrences of the genus are 



noted in Europe. E. B. T.
