Extract

In addition to the localities in Europe and N. America, another area for Tertiary Mammals has in very recent times been laid open to view in the Southern part of Argentina, which promises in the wealth of its contents to exceed those previously known. A few scattered remains from the Tertiary beds of the neighbourhood of Santa Cruz in Patagonia were already known more than forty years ago, but it is only lately, through the work of Burmeister and Moreno, and more particularly through the indefatigable researches of Florentino Ameghino, that a more complete insight into this very remarkable fauna has been obtained.
