Part hi. Beitr. Pal. Oesterr.-Ung. viii, pp. [1-106] 387-492. [Plates 
with preceding part.] 
The concluding part of the memoir noticed in Zool. Rec. xxv, Mamin. 
pp. 27 & 28. The first portion concludes the Carnivora ; while a supple- 
ment gives emendations of some of the determinations made in the two 
preceding parts, with mention of species described since they were issued. 
There is also a complete distributional list of all the known European 
Tertiary Mammals. The part devoted to the Carnivora commences with 
the characters of the existing Viverridce , in which it is concluded that 
Prionodon and Poiana are the direct descendants of Palceoprionodon. In 
the survey of extinct Yiverroids, one new species of the type genus is 
described, and V. minima, Filhol, is regarded as referable to this genus 
and not to Ilerpestes. The Ilerpestince are raised to the rank of a family. 
In the Procyonidce there is a notice of JElarus anglicus , and of the fossil 
American forms. In the Ifycenidce , the new genus Prohycena is proposed 
for udElurodon wheelerianus, Cope, which is regarded as an ancestral 
Hysenoid. It is considered that Hycenocyon is certainly not a Ganoid, 
but may be an Hymnoid. Hycena maculata and the fossil II. spelcea are 
regarded as distinct from II. crocuta. In the Felidce there is a long 
discussion as to the origin and relationships of the family, followed by a 
description of the fossil forms. The genus Didymictis, Cope, is regarded 
as the representative of the Creodonta Adaptiva — a group connecting the 
true Creodonts with the typical Carnivores. This portion of the memoir 
concludes with a survey of the extinct American Carnivores described by 
Marsh, most of which are considered to be identical with Creodonts 
previously named by Cope. Iu the supplement the relation of Ccenopi- 
thecus to Adapis is discussed, and it is considered that the jaw referred 
by Riitimeyer to Pelycodus probably belongs to the former. The jaw 
from the Bohnerz of Frohnstetten, previously referred by the author to 
Microchcerus , is made the type of the new genus Cryptopithecus , and is 
probably allied to Ilyopsodus. Microchcerus is transferred to the 
Lemuridce , and regarded as closely allied to Necrolemur. After some 
mention of additional fossil Insectivora and Chiroptera , the descriptive 
part concludes with references to Carnivores described since the earlier 
part of the text was in type, and with discussions on points of phylogeny, 
priority, &c. [See Ilyopsodontidce , Viverridce , and Canidce.]
