Extract

SOME years ago I recorded in the columns of Nature the discovery, in the Miocene beds of Tasmania, of a fossil cetacean of the squalodont type. Apart from the value of this specimen in its bearing on the phylogeny of the Cetacea, it is of interest in correlating certain geological horizons of Australia with those of South America in which the same genus has been found.
