THE MEIOCENE MAMMALIA. 

 A. THE LOWER MEIOCENE MAMMALIA OF FRANCE. 



THE mammals which appear to me to characterise the Lower 

 Meiocenes 1 of France are chosen from Professor Gervais' work (Op. 

 cit. pp. 341 et seq.) They consist of the following species derived 

 from 1. St. G6rand-le-Puy (Allier) ; 2, Vaumas and St. Pourcin- 

 Sur-Hetre (Allier) ; 3, Issoire, Volvic, Puy-de-dome. 



LOWER MEIOCENE MAMMALIA OF FRANCE. 

 MARSUPIALIA. 



Didelphys Peratherium (3). 2 

 Hycenodon leptorhynchus, Laiz. (3). 



UNGULATA PERISSODACTYLA. 



Rhinoceros minutus (3), Cuvier. 

 Tapirus Poireri (2), Pomel. 



1 The mammalia of Ronzon, Villebramar, and Le Puy-en-Velay, considered 

 by Professor Gaudry (Les Enchaineinents, p. 5, and Les Animaux Fossiles de 

 Mont Ltberon, 4to, p. 86) to belong to a still lower stage of the Meioceiie, will 

 probably ultimately be classified with the Upper Eocene, as Professor Gervais 

 suggests, Pal. Fran$. p. 334. 



2 These numbers relate to the above localities.
