p. 129. This genus is regarded as a descendant of Oxycena ; and 
reasons are given for considering the family as the ancestral stock of 
the Seals. Attention is also directed to the intimate connection 
existing between the Creodonts and true Carnivores.

V. RODENT I A. 
For the Rodent fauna (recent and fossil) of Bohemia, see Kafka, supra, 
p. 10. Woodward, supra, p. 23, examines the milk-dentition of the 
order, and ascertains the transitory presence of a milk-incisor in 
the Mouse. 
Parsons, P. Zool. Soc. London, 1894, pp. 251-296, records a series of 
observations on Rodent myology, based on the dissection of the 
muscles of examples of twenty-one species, belonging to many 
families of the Hystricomorpha and Sciuromorpha. The results of 
these discussions have been compared with the writings of other 
observers, and arranged, firstly under the heads of the different 
muscles, and secondly under those of different families. The arrange- 
ment of the muscles coincided in a marked manner with the usual 
classification of the order, and seemed to depend much more upon
