& 117-128, pis. i-iii. 
Has several observations on the extinct Mammals of Argentina, and 
concludes that none of them are older than the Miocene, or possibly the 
upper Oligocene. Translated in An. Soc. Argent, xxxvii, pp. 53-78. 
. Contributions to a knowledge of the Fossil Vertebrates of 
Argentina. An. Mus. La Plata, Pal. Arg. ii (1893). 
Contains three articles, viz. : ( 1 ) The Dinosaurs of Patagonia. (2) Cetacean 
Skulls from Patagonia, and (3) A Study of extinct Argentine Ungulates, 
illustrated by 43 plates. While the second article deals with forms many 
of which have been hitherto undescribed, the third is mainly a revision of 
types already named, and attempts a large reduction of genera and species. 
The author argues that the Santa Cruz beds of Patagonia have no 
claim to be regarded as Eocene. [See p. 39, Cervidic , p. 41, Camelidai t
