摘要
本文报道了两种早期的奇蹄类哺乳动物。时代为早第三纪中始新世早期。其中静犀(犭莫)(Hyrachyus modestus)的发现为在该时期内东亚、西欧及北美哺乳动物之间具有某种联系提供了确实的证据。
Two species of archaic perissodactyl collecting from the early Middle Eocene of Laiwu, Shandong (Shantung) are described here. One of the two is the Hyrachyus modestus (V 6872) of the Family Helaletide (Tapiroidea). The appearence of this species in China extented its distribution extent so that we may now see this species in East Asia as well as in West Europe and North America. The fact led us to believe that there probably exist some relationship between these three areas geographically and zoologically at that time. Meanwhile, a new species of Rhodopagus which recently reffering to the Family Hyracodontidae (Rhinocerotoidea) by Lucas and Schoch (1981) is interesting in taxonomic aspect. The age of the two species may comparison with that of Xintai (Sintai) Fauna of Shantong.
