On the Fossil remains of Mammalia referable to the genus Palæotherium, and to two genera, Paloplotherium and Dichodon, hitherto undefined: from the Eocene Sand at Hordile, Hampshire

Abstract

To Alexander Pytts Falconer, Esq. of Beacon, Christchurch, Hants, and to his brother Thomas Falconer, Esq. of Wootton in the same county, British Palæontology is much indebted for some new and highly interesting fossil remains, which they have obtained at considerable trouble and expense from the Eocene freshwater formation in the cliffs at Hordle, Hants. I beg to express my sincere acknowledgments to those gentlemen for their liberal transmission to me, from time to time, of their valuable acquisitions from this interesting stratum, of which I purpose on the present occasion to describe the specimens of jaws and teeth of the herbivorous or hoofed Mammalia.
