1 Apparently transitional between tbe Perpiguan and the Val d'Arno 

 horizons; see Deperet, 'Theses Facult. Sci. Paris,' ser. A, no. 67 — Bassin 

 Tertiaire de Rousillon, p. 240 (1885). 



2 Deperet {op. cit. p. 232), who retains the Pikermi and allied groups in the 

 Upper Miocene, proposes the term Middle Pliocene for the Astien stage. 



3 According to Deperet {op. cit. p. 243) the marine fauna of the Plaisancien 

 must be grouped with tbe land Astien fauna. 



4 According to Vacek, Abh. k.-k. geol. Reich, vol. vii. pt. 4, p. 13 (1S77), 

 Mastodon angustidcns occurs in the Baltringen beds. 



5 Squalodcn cafulli of these beds lias been recorded from Baltringen.
