The Tertiary Fauna of MarJcusevec in Croatia. [Fauna fossih 

 Terziaria ^-c] By S. Brusina. 8vo. 08 pp. Zagreb (Agram), 

 1892. [Reprint from the ' Glasnika Hevats. N"aravosl. Driiztva,' 

 vii. Godina.] 



This memoir, published by the Natural-History Society of Croatia, 

 is a coutiuuation of the results of the researches of Spiridiou 

 Brusina on the palaeontology of Dalmatia, Croatia, and Slavonia, 

 more especially the Tertiary Mollusks (largely of estuariue or 

 brackish character). The Director of the National Museum has 

 devoted much time and energy to this work, some results of whicli 

 were noticed in the Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist, for June ]875 ; and 

 other results have been since published in Austria-Hungary. 



8ome fossils collected bj^ him from a sandstone of the " Congerian 

 Formation " at the " Ivelekovo polje," not far from Markusevec, 

 were found to comprise some vertebrae, teeth, and otoliths of fishes, 

 fragments of Polyzoa, numerous valves of Ostracods, tubes of Anne- 

 Hdes, spines of Echinoderms, spicules of Sponges, and many Porami- 

 nifera. This collection is so important to local and other geologists 

 that a full list is given of its species of Limax. Helix., and Succinea 

 (few), 2 of Liranceu, 8 of Planorbis, 1 of MeJania, 17 and more of 

 Melanopsis, 2 of Melanoptychia, 26 and more of the Hydrobiidae, 7 of 

 Valvatidae, of Orygoceras 4, Cyclostoma 1, Neritona 1, Neritodonta (5, 

 Conger la 7, Limnocardiuni 5, Plsid'mni 1. Of these several are new 

 species, most of which are described in this memoir, and some are 

 species not yet determined sufficiently to be named. 



This group of fossil mollusks is carefully compared in detail with 

 those of other localities in Eastern Europe and with the fauna of the 

 Caspian and of Lake Baikal ; and the Author acknowledges his 

 indebtedness for help ani cooperation to his several friends and 

 fellow-workers. 



Mollusks from the " Sarmatian Formation " at Markusevec are 

 enumerated at pages 80-82 ; and an Appendix gives a list (with 

 localities) of the fossil Dreiseensidae of Dalmatia, Croatia, and 

 Slavonia, namely 20 species of Congeria and 7 of Dreissensia. 



An Index of the fossil species contained in Parts I. and III. of 

 S. Brusiua's work then follows, pp. 89-90, and of the special recent 

 representatives at pp. 97 and 98.
