At the recent meeting of the International Geological Congress in Stockholm, Professor C. de la Torre, of the University of Havana, made the announcement of a discovery of fossil mammals of Pleistocene age, in cavern deposits of Central Cuba. Hitherto the known fossil Vertebrates were few. Mr. T. W. Vaughan, in America, had published a long paper discrediting those previously reported, but before that time the late Professor E. D. Cope (America's great Vertebrate Palæontologist) had passed over the doubtful forms, and accepted especially one species of Edentate, supposing that other forms were buried and submerged during the subsequent depressions of the land.
