A sirenian skeleton, the major part of which was excavated from Miocene deposits at Eibergen near Winterswijk, belongs to Metaxytherium. The temporal crests on the parietals are well separated. The foramen magnum is pointed above. The mandible has a downturned symphysial body with four shallow alveoli on each side. The wide mandibular canal opens some distance behind the alveolus of M3. There are alveoli for one premolar (P4) and for three molars (M1-M3). Only M2 dext. is preserved; it has four main cusps and some accessory cusplets. The humerus, the shaft portion of which is missing, has a wide and marked bicipital groove. The vertebrae, with the exception of the atlas, are fragmentary. The spinous processes are solid, the centra porous. The ribs, a few... |

In 1876 beschreef Van Beneden (1876: 799) resten van een kleine zeehond uit het Scaldisien van het Bekken van Antwerpen als Phocanella minor. Newton (1891: 19/20) meldde een humerus fragment van deze soort afkomstig uit het Nodule Bed van de Red Crag bij Foxhall, 4 mijl Z.W. van Woodbridge in Suffolk. Een fragment van een femur werd door Van Deinse (1927: 1363) gerapporteerd van de Groeve van Wiegerink ten noorden van Zwolle; dit zou tot nu toe de enige fossiele vondst van Phocanella minor uit ons land zijn. Het zwarte botje waarvan hier nu melding wordt gemaakt ontving ik van Dr. P. H. de Buisonjé en is afkomstig van een schelpenzuiger in de Westerschelde. Het is een groot deel van het heiligbeen (sacrum), en de overeenkomst met het sacrum van Phocanella... |

The species mentioned in the title of the present contribution was first described on the base of two incomplete upper molars, some fragments, and two portions of limb bones (Hooijer, 1949). The two and only complete molars were described later (Hooijer, 1953a). To this has been added the description of the milk dentition and of three premolars (Hooijer, 1953c). There are, however, important lacunae in our knowledge of the molar dentition to be filled. It remains as yet uncertain whether the type upper molar of 1949 represents M2 or M3, while the smaller of the complete lower molars of 1953 could be either M1 or M2. The prolonged study of the fragmentary molars in the Celebes collection has now made it possible to assemble the full set of upper and lower... |

The tapir is an extremely rare element in the fossil Mammalian fauna of Java. In the enormous collection of fossil teeth and bones brought together in this island by Eug. Dubois in the years 1890 to 1900, the tapir is represented only by six teeth, originating from three localities in the Kendeng Mts., viz., Kedoeng Broeboes, Kedoeng Loemboe, and Kebon Doeren. Previous to his researches in Java, Dubois collected teeth in a number of caves in the Padang Highlands. In this Sumatran collection Tapirus is not uncommon. We possess one hundred and twenty complete, and a still larger number of broken teeth. Half of this collection originates from three caves, viz., the Lida Ajer cave near Pajakombo, the Sibrambang cave, and the Djamboe cave near Tapisello. The... |

The present note deals with two varanid vertebrae from Pleistocene gravel deposits at Raebia in the Atambua area of Indonesian Timor. The specimens were collected in 1966 by Dr. Th. Verhoeven, who gave them to me for study. Other fossil vertebrate remains from the same site belong to a giant land tortoise, Geochelone atlas (Falconer & Cautley) also known from the Pleistocene of India, Java and the Celebes (Hooijer, 1971), and Stegodon timorensis Sartono, a pygmy proboscidean comparable to those of the Pleistocene of the Celebes and Flores (Hooijer, 1972). No further remains of the varanid have been discovered, and the vertebrae may here be placed on record. There are a thoracic vertebra, with the neural spine broken off and the condyle as well as the... |

There is a reason for adding to the series "Pleistocene vertebrates from Celebes", which was brought to a conclusion just a decade ago, and which has since been summarized, with bibliographic references, e.g., in Van Heekeren (1957) and Hooijer (1959, 1960). The discovery of a pygmy stegodont in the island of Flores, Lesser Sunda Islands (Hooijer, 1964) brought me to a reconsideration of the evidence for a pygmy Stegodon in Celebes, which was considered inconclusive at the time, and restudy of all the fragmentary specimens in the Celebes collection not included in the published reports. As a result, all doubt concerning its status is removed; the Celebes Stegodon is decidedly smaller than Stegodon trigonocephalus Martin from Java. The evidence will be... |

The specimens described in the present paper have been collected by Dr. Th. L. Verhoeven at Liang Toge, a cave near Warukia, 1 km south of a hamlet called Lepa, in Manggarai, western Flores. This cave, as well as many others explored in the island by Verhoeven (1952, 1953), contains a Mesolithic flake and blade industry (Van Heekeren, 1957, p. 107). The faunal remains obtained from Liang Toge consist almost exclusively of jaws and bones of large rats, and it is of interest to place these specimens on record as they represent forms that are new to science, different from the one and only giant rat that is still living on Flores, Papagomys armandvillei Jentink). The discovery of new giant rats in a comparatively recent cave deposit such as that of Liang Toge... |

The purpose of the present paper is to place on record data on fossil Rhinocerotidae from Africa not included in earlier papers. Material has turned up in Africa in great quantities over the last decade, much from beautifully calibrated sequences especially in Ethiopia and the Baringo area of Kenya. Dreary descriptions of fossil teeth and bones are simply a prerequisite to construct, as is my aim, a sort of phylogeny of the rhinoceroses of Africa comparable to those long established for Europe or America. We have at this moment seven genera and a dozen or so species of Rhinocerotidae from the Neogene and the Quaternary, which will be dealt with below. My research in East and South Africa has been supported by grants-in-aid from the Wenner-Gren Foundation... |

A joint Dutch-Indonesian expedition to Celebes in 1970 worked especially in the Beru area whence the first described Pleistocene Celebes vertebrate remains came. In the present contribution I shall describe the most important specimens that have been brought to light. My thanks are due to Mr. R. P. Soejono for permission to take certain specimens with me to the Netherlands for study and comparison. The expedition was financed by the Netherlands Foundation for the Advancement of Tropical Research (Wotro) at The Hague. No further remains of Elasmobranchii (sharks and sting rays: Hooijer, 1954b) were found at Sompoh, so there are no additions on that score. Of the giant land tortoise, originally described as Testudo margae Hooijer (1948), an abundance of... |

Some time ago Dr. L. D. Brongersma, curator of the Leiden Museum, entrusted me for examination some subfossil equine teeth, received from Mr. H. van Hoepen, who had found them between Glen and Mazelspoort, in Orange Free State. The teeth proved to belong all to one and the same individual, and to constitute the entire upper premolar-molar-series of the right side, almost undamaged. The importance of this find is evident, as most of the fossil or subfossil equine species from S. Africa are based on isolated teeth. An inner view of our specimen is given in pl. VI lower figure, the crown surfaces are represented in the upper figure of the same plate. It can be seen, that the P4 is the longest tooth, its height is 72 mm. The mesostyle is prominent, and... |

A male skull of Tapirus terrestris (L.) originating from Dutch Guiana (Leiden Museum, reg. no. 11632), received from the Rotterdam Zoological Garden through the kind intermediary of Mr. F. J. APPELMAN on July 15, 1952, is remarkable for the abnormal development of its right P1. The full permanent dentition is in place except for the posterior premolars and last molars, which are in alveolo. The teeth are but little worn and, apart from the right P1, they do not show anv unusual characters. The left P1 has the shape normally found in the Brazilian tapir; the crown is triangular with rounded angles, and bears a continuous outer crest (ectoloph) extending from the front angle (parastyle) to the posterior outer cusp (metacone). The position of the central... |

The animal remains (mostly of shells, fish, and turtles) collected by Mr. H. R. VAN HEEKEREN and Mr. C. J. DU RY at the Indian site Sint Jan II, Curaçao, in March, 1960, include a few specimens of mammals. As was the case with the Indian site Santa Cruz, on Aruba (HOOIJER, 1960), several forms are represented that are no longer extant on the island, although this does not imply that all of them were strictly endemic at the time of formation of the Indian refuse heaps; they may have been imported for food or other purposes. The material dates from 1000—1500 A.D., and is therefore late pre-Columbian. The following forms are present: |

The Laetolil Beds in Tanzania, 20-30 miles south of Olduvai Gorge, have been extensively sampled by parties under the leadership of Mrs. Dr. Mary D. Leakey, who very kindly sent me Hipparion material collected in 1974, 1975, and 1976. In a restudy of proboscidean material from these beds described by Dietrich (1942), Maglio (1969) arrived at the conclusion that the Laetolil fauna represents two distinct horizons, one seemingly correlating best with Kanapoi, Yellow Sands (= Mursi Formation), Chemeron, and Kanam, and younger deposits correlating best with the later Omo Beds, possibly antedating Olduvai Bed I but only by a short time interval. This has been confirmed by radiometric dating: the Laetolil Beds with the older fauna are bracketed in time between... |

While studying the collection of recent oxen of the Museum my attention was drawn to the problem of the nomenclature of the Java banteng. I believe to have been able to clear up the confusion that still exists today, as will be set forth in the present note. The wild ox of Java, the banteng, is known variously as Bos sondaicus or Bos banteng, but neither of these is the earliest available valid name. The species should have been called: Bibos javanicus (d'Alton) B[os] Javanicus d'Alton, Skelete der Wiederkäuer, Bonn, 1823, p. (7), pl. VIII fig. c. The earliest reference to the banteng of Java I have been able to find is in Pennant (1800, p. 35): "Mr. Loten told me that wild oxen, of a reddish brown color, with vast horns, and of a great size, are found in... |

The faunas of Lothagam, Kanapoi and Ekora on the west side of Lake Rudolf in Kenya include well-preserved Hipparion material. The most interesting species is represented by a skull from Lothagam that is devoid of a preorbital fossa : Hipparion turkanense Hooijer & Maglio. The upper cheek teeth have small fossette plications and rather wrinkled anteroposterior fossette borders; the lower cheek teeth also show this wrinkled enamel condition, notably on the buccal wall, and sport no ectostylids. The closest resemblances are with certain Chinese "Pontian" forms described by Sefve. An equally large Hipparion with a preorbital fossa occurs at Kanapoi and Ekora. The upper cheek teeth are richly plicated fore and aft, and the anteroposterior fossette borders... |

The genus Celebochoerus was based by me (Hooijer, 1948) on two fragments of upper canines of rather large size, different from their homologues in Sus celebensis Müller and Babyrousa babyrussa (L.), the two living species of Suidae of Celebes. The specimens originate from Pleistocene deposits at Desa Beru, Tjabenge (Sopeng district), about 100 km N.E. of Macassar, S. Celebes, and were collected by Mr. H. R. van Heekeren, prehistorian to the Archaeological Survey at Macassar. In the meantime I have received more specimens of upper canines, collected by Mr. Van Heekeren at Desa Beru and also at Sompoh, 12 km N. of Beru. These specimens, like those first described, are surface finds and consequently more or less water-worn. They show a great deal of variation... |

Few fossil remains of rodents have been collected in Java until now, and they have received little attention. In the reports published during his paleontological researches in Java, Dubois twice records finds of Hystrix remains, viz., at Pati-Ajam in Japara (Anonymus, 1891, p. 12/13), and in the region between Bangle and Djeroek (Anonymus, 1893, p. 12). In a subsequent paper (Dubois, 1907, p. 454) we find mention of the presence of porcupines in the fossil fauna of Java, but in his review of the latter fauna Dubois (1908) bestows no words upon these rodents. The Selenka Expedition to Trinil secured one tooth, which was figured by Stremme (1911, p. 83, pl. XVI fig. 5) as a right M2 of a small species of Hystrix. Finally a tooth of Hystrix from Sangiran II... |

SYNOPSIS A rhinoceros from the Fort Ternan site, Kenya, Late Miocene in age, represents a form distinctly more advanced than the genera and species known from the Early Miocene although it is not directly ancestral to the Quaternary forms. It is a collaterally developed tuskless, two-horned, browsing species from the same ancestral stock as the modern Diceros bicornis (L.), and it is named Paradiceros mukirii. This is the first rhinocerotid filling the gap between the African Early Miocene and the Pleistocene rhinocerotids. Through the courtesy of Dr. L. S. B. Leakey the writer has been priviliged to study the rhinocerotid remains of the Fort Ternan site, housed in the Centre for Prehistory and Palaeontology, National Museum, Nairobi. The site, whence came... |
