摘要
鬣羚和大熊猫化石在我国江南山洞中较为多见,但是标本都保存不好,即使有些零星材料,也非同一个体,相比之下,本文的标本是令人满意的。鬣羚和大熊猫经常在一个层位发现,它们共存的历史可以追索至中更新世早期。就其现生种类而言,凡有大熊猫生活的地区,就有鬣羚的足迹可寻。
A new Pleistocene Caprinae (Capricornis sumatraensis guilinensis subsp, nov.), is diseribed in the present paper. The fossil were collected at Chuanshan Cave Guilin County, Kwangsi Province. Beside this new subspecies, the deposits in the cave contains Ailuropoda melanoleuca baconi. The new subspecies is characterized by the size slightly larger than Capricornis sumatraensis Bechstein; in the new form, the postpalatal notches are stated to be behind the line of the posterior border of M^3, while in C. s. milne-edwardsii and C. s. argyrochaetes the notches extend forward beyong the posterior border of M^3. The new form also differs from the C. s. kanjereus and C. s. qinlingcnsis, which has external ribs stronger, both on molars and premolars, while in C. s. guilinensis the external ribs weaker, on cheek teeth. Judging from the above characters, specimen of Guilin, C. s. guilinensis subsp, nov., represented a new form of Capricornis.
