[Pleistocene Microtinae (Rodentia, Mammalia) from Dziadowa Skała-cave in Poland]
Abstract:
SUMMARY. The author describes the remains of Microtinae found in the sediments of the cave in Dziadowa Skała on the Kraków-Wieluń Highlans (S-W Poland), locality Skarżyce, district Zawiercie. They were found in a sandy layer of the sediment originating from a late period of the last glaciation (Würm) together with remains of Lepus timidus L., Alopex lagopus L., Rangifer sp., Bos or Bison as well as rather scanty upper palaeolith (probably aurignacian). The found remains of Microtinae belong to following species: Dicrostonyx torquatus (Pallas), Lemmus sp., Microtus gregalis (Pallas), Arvicola terrestris (L.). The author describes the remains and gives systematical remarks as well as data on the distribution of the found species. He also gives a critical list of existing data on the appearance of Microtinae in the younger Pleistocene beds of Poland.
