Gaupry, ALBERT—“‘ Animaux Fossiles du. Mont Leberon.” 
On p. 84 the author lists Chalicotheritum from Eppelsheim among the Pachyderms, 
and on pp. 88 and 91 points out the relationship between Macrotherium and his 
Ancylotherium.

Kowalevsky says, p. 175: “ Of Chalicotherium (Anisodon), which is often represented 
as a descendant of Anoplotheriwm, we know but little, more particularly are we left 
in ignorance of its skeletal structure. If it belongs to the Artiodactyla it evidently 
represents a line of descent older than Anoplotherium, that is standing nearer the point 
at which the Artiodactyla and the Perissodactyla separated from each other, for the 
reason that the molars of the lower jaw are almost entirely like those of the Peris- 
sodactyla without any trace of the folding of the inner cusps, which is to be already 
detected in the Anoplotheria. Aniscdon retains the canines. The transition from 
the upper molars to the premolars through the short P! is not sudden, but the pre- 
molars of Anisodon reveal a gradual simplification of the molars such as is to be observed 
almost exclusively in the Perissodactyla. Anisodon appears to have no connection with 
the existing fauna, and it is even doubtful whether it should be assigned to the Artio- 
dactyla, since the astragali from Sansan which have been attributed to it, perhaps do 
not belong to it at all.” 
On pp. 248-251 the author from an examination of the milk dentition of Chali- 
cotherium concludes that it cannot belong to the Artiodactyla, but should be referred 
to the Perissodactyla.

Dr. Flower erects the genus Homalotherium for the remains received by Huxley, 
and to which the latter alluded in his Annual Address before the Geological Society of 
London in 1870. (Cf. Quarterly Journal Geol. Society, Vol. X XVI, p. lvii.)

The original description of Meniscotherium chamense gen. et sp. nov. Cope, is given 
on p. 596, as follows: 
“ Char. gen.—Molars three, with two continuous external crescents and two internal 
tubercles, except on the posterior, where there is but one, the anterior conic tubercle. 
The posterior tubercles on the other molars crescentoid in section. A well-developed
