Andrews (1). — L'auteur a restauré, pour le « Bri- tisli Muséum », un crâne de ce Zeuglodonte de l'Eocène moyen d'Egypte, qui donne aux naturalistes et au public instruit, une idée précise des relations unissant ces Cétacés primitifs, d'une part avec les Créodontes, d'autre part avec les Odontocètes plus récents. Après avoir décrit cette restauration, il cherche à expli- quer le très rapide phénomène d'évolution qui aurait transformé un Gréodonte primitif en un Cétacé bien adapté à la vie marine. L'influence du milieu a été, dans ce cas, le facteur prépondérant, produisant une sorte d'accélération de l'hérédité. Description of the type spécimen of Stenomylus gracilis, hj 0.-A.Peterson(2). — Les fouilles si importantes des Musées améri- cains — et en particulier du « Carnegie Muséum » — révèlent chaque jour des types d'organisation nouveaux ; il s'agit ici d'un Tylopode des « lower Harrison beds » du Nebraska, correspondant à l'Oligo- cène, qui présente une association de caractères telle que le crâne et les membres auraient été classés dans deux Genres différents s'ils n'avaient été trouvés en connexion Les os des membres, très soi- gneusement figurés par M. Peterson, rappellent Oxydactylus lon- gipes déjà décrit par le même naturaliste. Les vertèbres cervicales (1) Londres, 1908. — Ext. de Geol. Mag., Dec. V, voL V, 4 p., 1 PL (2) PitUburgh, 1908. — Ext. de Ann. Carn. Mus., IV, n» 3, 14 p., 12 flg. — 2 — sont longues. Quant au crâne, il est différent de celui de tous les Camélidés miocéniques, et présente certaines particularités qui le rapprochent de Lama huanaca. Étnde des Mammifères mioeènes des Sables de rOrléauais et des Faluns de la Tonraine, par Lneien Ulayet (1).— Les Mammi- fères fossiles des a Sables de l'Orléanais », caractéristiques du Burdigalien, étaient souvent cités, d'une façon assez vague, mais n'avaient jamais été ni décrits ni figurés. Le Mémoire de M. Mayet comble une des plus importantes lacunes dans la connaissance précise des faunes de Mammifères qui ont peuplé la France; de telles monographies sont la base indispensable de toute étude scientifique sur l'évolution des divers groupes. Une première partie très détaillée est relative à la description des gisements des « Sables de l'Orléanais » proprement dits. M. Mayet a visité tous ces gisements avec grand soin ; on sait com- bien la stratigraphie est difficile dans cette région de grandes plaines où les coupes naturelles et les grandes exploitations sont très rares ; les géologues ont discuté longtemps sur la superposi- tion des assises. Daus le complexe généralement réuni sous le nom « Sables de l'Orléanais » M. Mayet distingue: 5. Marnes de l'Orléanais et sables de Sologne non fossilifères. 4. Sables de l'Orléanais proprement dits. 3. Marnes de Suèvres et de Chevenelles. 2. Sables de Chitenay. 1. Calcaire de Montabuzard. On remarquera qu'il se sépare de MM. Douvillé et Stehlin, quant à la position du calcaire de Montabuzard, ce qui me paraît très justifié, mais qu'il ne croit pas pouvoir distinguer deux horizons dans les Sables de l'Orléanais, comme l'a admis récemment, avec raison semble t-il, M. Stehlin. M. Mayet traite spécialement, dans une seconde partie, des gise- ments sableux des environs de Pontlevoy. La faune mammalo- gique des P'aluns de Touraine, confondue en général avec celle des Sables de l'Orléanais — ou même considérée comme constituée uniquement par des ossements fossiles remaniés des Sables de l'Or- léanais — doit en réalité être nettement séparée ; elle est plus récente. Tandis que la faune des Sables de l'Orléanais (Burdigalien) a un cachet plus ancien tendant vers celle de Saint-Gérand le Puy, la faune des Faluns montre beaucoup plus d'affinités avec Sansan. (1) Lyon, 1908. — Exl. de Ann. Univ. Nouv. série. Se, fasc. 2i, 336p., 12 PI. — 3 — La description détaillée des fossiles — que M, Mayet a pu exami- ner dans les différentes collections publiques ou privées — occupe la plus grande partie de l'ouvrage; il n'est pas possible de résu- mer ces descriptions très détaillées, consciencieuses, accompagnées d'excellentes figures. On me pardonnera d'en exposer les résultats généraux un peu longuement peut être, car j'ai rassemblé, pen- dant une dizaine d'années au Musée d'Orléans, beaucoup de maté- riaux dont des circonstances extra-scientifiques m'ont empêché de faire l'étude et que j'ai été heureux de voir utiliser enfla. Parmi les Rhinocéros des Sables de l'Orléanais, l'un des plus intéressants est Diceratherium Douvillei, dernier représentant des Diceratherium de l'Oligocène. La description de Rhinocéros aurelia- nensis, — forme trapue, massive, armée d'une faible corne, rappelant dans la faune européenne les Teleoceras américains, aujourd'hui si bien connus — est l'un des chapitres principaux du Mémoire ; on peut regretter que M. Mayet n'ait pas davantage développé le para- graphe relatif à ses affinités. 11 pense que c'est une forme immi- grée, ancêtre de R. brachypus de Saosan, sans relations avec les espèces de l'Oligocène de France. 11 omet de nous dire d'où a pu venir cette migration. Les Cératorhinés seraient représentées dans les marnes de Suèvres par un petit Rhinocéros, dont on ne connaît malheureu- il sement que des dents isolées ; a généralement été nommé R. minutus dans les collections et M. Mayet le considère comme une race de R.

  • Some Phrygian Monuments
    256 SOME PHRYGIAN MONUMENTS. SOME PHRYGIAN MONUMENTS. [PL. XXVI.—XXIX.] OF the five Phrygian monuments now published from the drawings of Mr. A. C. Blunt, No. 4 on PL XXVIII. may be assigned to an early period of Phrygian history. It has been already pub- lished by Steuart, Anc. Monum.; but like all his drawings, this is very incorrect and gives an inaccurate idea of the original.1 The monument is at Yapuldak (see the map in last number of this Journal). There was at this place a town or fortification of some kind on the top of a hill, which rises about 200 feet above the plain. The western side of the hill is a precipice of rock, and on all other sides it is very steep. On the western side an underground staircase cut in the rock leads down to the plain: a similar one at Pishmish Kalessi has already been men- tioned above, p. 6. Near this staircase there is a doorway leading into a small rock-chamber, from which another door in the opposite wall leads into a second chamber, larger than the first. At the back of the second chamber a door admits into a third chamber, and in the back of this third chamber there is a door or window which looks out over the precipice to the west. One can step out through this window and stand on a ledge about eighteen inches wide; and this is the only way to get a near view of the carved front which is now given according to Mr.

INTRODUCTION. The method of preparing and arranging the material of the Bibli­ ography and Index for 1898 is similar to that adopted for the previous publications 011 this subject (Bulletins Nos. 130,135,146,149, and 156). Several papers that should have been entered in the previous bulletins are here recorded, and the date of publication is given with each entry. Bibliography. The bibliography consists of full titles of separate papers, classified by authors, an abbreviated reference to the publica­ tion in which the paper is printed, and a brief summary of the con­ tents, each paper being numbered for index reference.

Even when multiple studies exploring the potential variety within a 16taphonomic process exist, quantitative methods for comparing these datasets in order to identify 17larger scale patterns have been understudied. This research uses modern bite marks collected 18from 21 of the 23 generally recognized species of extant Crocodylia to explore statistical and 19phylogenetic methods of synthesizing taphonomic datasets. Bite marks were identified, and 20specimens were then coded for presence or absence of different mark morphotypes. Attempts to 21find statistical correlation between trace types, marking animal vital statistics, and sample 22collection protocol were unsuccessful. Mapping bite mark character states on a eusuchian 23phylogeny successfully predicted the presence of known diagnostic, bisected marks in extinct 24taxa. Predictions for clades that may have created multiple subscores, striated marks, and 25extensive crushing were also generated. Inclusion of fossil bite marks which have been positively 26associated with extinct species allow this method to be projected beyond the crown group.
