Abstract
A LARGE quantity of prehistoric remains have been found in the diluvial loam of Thiede and Weste-regeln, in the Duchy of Brunswick. This fossil fauna of Thiede numbers about thirty species—the common loess molluscs (Helix hispida, Pupa muscorum, Succinea oblonga), together with remains of horse, reindeer, Rhinoceros tichorinus, Elephas primigenius, some carnivora, and rodents (as lemming, Myodes torquatus, Arvicola, gregalis, &c.). The lemmings appear especially in the lowermost beds, with some few remains of reindeer and Arctic fox; in the middle beds they are associated with remains of horse, rhinoceros, and elephant, and gradually disappear in the higher horizons.
