The Cratrman called attention to the remarkable association of 
forms among the fossils described by Prof. Owen. 
Prof. Busk remarked that the materials at command seemed to 
him insufficient for the establishment of new species. He observed 
that the distinctive characters of Stegodon sinensis appeared to be 
very slight, and that the Hyena might just as probably be H. 
spelea. The tooth of Rhinoceros might be a milk-molar of 2. swma- 
tranus or R. sondarcus. 
Mr. Boyp Dawxtns suggested that, as the specimens were obtained 
from apothecaries, there was no evidence of the contemporaneity of 
the fossils. 
Mr. H. Woopwarp stated that Mr. Swinhoe had himself obtained 
a series of these fossils from a cave many miles inland—he believed, 
on the course of the Yang-tse-kiang. Mr. Woodward also called 
attention to Mr. Hanbury’s paper on Chinese Materia Medica, in 
which many fossil teeth of mammalia are noticed. 
Prof. OweEn, in reply, stated that great quantities of the fossils 
had passed through his hands, and that he had selected for descrip- 
tion those which, from their minute agreement in chemical and 
other characters, might justly be inferred to be of the same age, and 
to be derived from the cave mentioned by Mr. Swinhoe. 
3. Further discovery of the Foss. Kieprnants of Maura.

(Abstract. ) 
Tre author described the discovery of some fossil bones in a fissure 
at Is-Shantiin, at the entrance of the quarry of Micabibba, on the 
24th of January of the present year. 
The fissure in which the bones were found was an expansion of a
