• Barbara RZEBIK-KOWALSKA

Abstract:

A description of a new form, Paranourosorex gigas n. g. n. sp. (Soricinae, Neomyini), from the Middle-Pliocene fossil locality of Podlesice in Poland is given. A mandibular fragment determined as belonging to Amblycoptus cf. topali Jánossy, 1972 from the probably Upper Villafranchian fauna of Zamkowa Dolna Cave at Olsztyn is described. Measurements and drawing of the remains found are given and their systematic position is discussed.
