Great Britain, the extinct Edentates of South America, and — 
the ancient Marsupials of Australia, each forms an important 
chapter in the history of our science. 
e personal researches of Falconer and Cautley in the 
Sewalik Hills of India brought to light a marvelous vertebrate 
fauna of Pliocene age. e remains thus secured were made 
known in their great work, “Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,” 
published at London in 1845. The important contributions of 
Egerton to our knowledge of fossil fishes, and Jardine’s well 
thet work, “Ichnology of Annandale,” also belong to this 
period. 
e fossil vertebrates from the Caves of Germany, published 
in 1820-23, made known the more important facts of that 
hoa fauna. His later publications on extinct Amphibians 
tiles were also noteworthy. Jiiger’s pies on 
researches in the same region, 183444, we owe the discovery 
of the first Triassic mammal (Microlestes), as well as important 
information in regard to Labyrinthodonts. Kaup’s research 
on fossil mammals, 1839-41, brought to light many interest 
forms, and to him we are indebted for the generic name |
