Major, C. .T. Forsyth. Considerations Nouvelles sur la Faune des 
Vertebres du Miocene Superieur dans l’lsle de Samos. C.R. cxiii, 
pp. 608-610. 
The author gives a complete list of the Mammals from the Upper 
Tertiary of Samos, but as several of the names are new and are unaccom- 
panied by any description, they must be regarded for the present as MS. 
ones. Among the forms of which there is some descriptive notice 
(although insufficient to allow of the pames being established), there is 
an Antelope allied to the Gemsboks, for which the name Protoryx is 
proposed ; while a Ruminant of generalized affinities receives the name 
of Criotherium. It is stated that the skull described as Palceomanis does 
not belong to an Edentate. 
. Sur l’Age de la Faune de Samos. T. c. pp. 708-710. 
The author brings forward evidence as to the contemporaneity of the 
faunas of Samos, Pikermi, Leberon, Concud, Maragha, Baltavar, &c., and 
considers that these are probably older than the Siwalik fauna, which 
approximates to that of the Val d’Arno.

A reply to Osborn’s criticisms (infra, p. 14). It is stated that none of 
the Plagiaulaculai have three rows of tubercles in the upper molars, and 
that Bolodon is probably based on the upper jaw of Plagiaulax. Also 
that no Allotheria ( Multituber culala ) are known with certainty to have 
three rows of tubercles on the lower molars ; the type of Stereognathas 
being probably part of the maxilla. It is urged that the typo of Mcnis- 
coessus is Reptilian, but that Stagodon is truly Mammalian.
