Detailed explanations on the stratigraphy of the Late Cenozoic lacustrine beds of S.E. shansi have already been given in the preface of the above mentioned memoir on the Proboscidians and will not be repeated here. It has been made clear there that the Pliocene series of South Eastern Shansi consists of lacustrine deposits covering apparently the Pontian(ZoneⅠ),the Middle Pliocene (ZoneⅢ) . the latter zone being regarded here as final Pliocene rather than Early Plenistocene
The nationas in the text are the same as those given in the previously mentioned work. For instance , the number of the specimens refer to the catalogue numbers of the Hoangho-Paiho Museum (Tinetsin), the figures being printed in italics for the illustrated specimens .
