Extract

On looking over a small collection of rodent remains from the Pleistocene cave-deposits of Crete, Mr. Oldfield Thomas drew my attention to one specimen which appeared to be of special interest. It consists of an imperfect right mandibular ramus still in the matrix, and which contains the base of the incisor in a fragmentary condition, and the first and second molars in a perfect state of preservation. The third molar is missing. This specimen was obtained from a cave-deposit on the south side of the little bay of Sphinari on the west coast of Crete. The deposit is almost totally destroyed and is still partially submerged; a few fragmentary remains of an ungulate were also observed and appeared to be those of the Cretan deer Anaglochis cretensis of Simonelli, which occurs in so many of the cave-deposits of the island.
