Abstract
THIS handsome volume is a continuation of the author's monograph on the fossil horses of the Pampean beds of Argentina, of which the first part was published at Buenos Ayres in 1875, and is stated to have been specially brought out for the Paris Exhibition. The author has, however, not done himseif justice as regards the title of this portion of the work, since, in addition to the description of remains of the horses of the Pampean, he also describes and illustrates the osteology of Megatherium, Mastodon, and Macrauchenia, so that a better title for this volume would have been “The Fossil Horses and other Mammals of the Pampean Deposits.”
