On the Remains of Vertebrata from the Wiener Basin. 

 By Dr. Moritz Hornes. 



[Leonh. u. v. Bronn's Jahrb. f. Miner. 1848, p. 751, and Mittheil. Freund. 

 Naturw. Wien, 1848, iv. pp. 176-178.] 



The following were collected by Herr Joseph Poppelack, of Felds- 

 berg : — 



1 . From the Loess at Feldsberg, several teeth of Equus cahallns 

 and Rhinoceros tichorhinus ; — between Rabensburg and Hohenau, 

 teeth of Equus caballus, Bos priscus, and a fragment of an antler of 

 Cei'vus euryceros (a tusk of Elephas primigenius also had previously 

 been found there) . 



2. From the tertiary sand and gravel between Hobersdorf and 

 Kettlasbrunn, near Wildersdorf, two teeth of Binotherium giganteum 

 and one oi Acerotherium incisivum. A yellow colour, staining the 

 inside, distinguishes the tertiary from the Loess teeth, as Morlot 

 observed (Wien. Mitth. III. B. p. 492) ; the same condition distin- 

 guishes the teeth of the Acerotherium from the similar teeth of the 

 Rhinoceros tichorhinus. 



3. From the Leitha limestone of Garschenthal, between Feldsberg 

 and Steinabrunn, a tooth of Halianassa Collinii, Meyer (remains of 

 which have hitherto been found only in the tertiary sandofLinz and 

 in the millstone molasse of Wallsee) ; teeth of Oxyrhina xiphodon,A.^., 

 O. Besorii, Ag. (found also at Wallsee), Galeus aduncuSy Ag., 

 Lamna elegans, Ag., and Myliohates Haidingeri, Miinster. 



4. From the caverns of Vepusteck and Beziskala, near Adamsthal, 

 north of Briinn, teeth and fragments of jaw-bones of TJrsus spelceus 

 and Equus caballus. 



Dr. Hornes adds also a description of a fragment of a jaw-bone of 

 Cervus haplodon^ Meyer (Jahrb. 1846, p. 471), from the Leitha 

 limestone, to which species also belong the teeth that Partsch 

 (Jahrb. 1847, p. 578) ascribed to Palceomeryx Kaupii, Meyer.
