The other forms as a small Talpa, two Desmans, Prospalax "priscus". Apodemus (predominating), Muscardinus, Glirulus pusillus, - are banal forms or strongly related to the Upper Pliocene faunas known at present. From the point of view of stratigraphical estimation the shrews play a special important role. According to the personal communication of K.KOWALSKI, - in the sense of the newest revision, - the Episoriculus as well as the white toothed form, and "Sorex" = Petényia dehneli of Podlesice are very near to the form of Osztramos 9. Moreover in Podlesice some other shrews are strongly related with some of the Konfidisch and Polgárdi-forms (see BACHMAYER et WILSON, 1970; KRETZOI, 1952). These facts proves the older age of Podlesice as formerly estimated and at the same time the lower stratigraphical position ("Middle Pliocene age") of the above scetched new Localities of Osztramos too. On the basis of these new data we can refine the "Middle Pliocene" stratigraphical series of Middle-Eastern Europe demonstrating in the following table: "perpignan" "ruscinian" Allosorex Baranomys Trilophomys Ivanovce O o estramontian Episoriculus borsodensis Amblycoptus topali Baranomys (Warthamys) Prospalax kretzoii Osztramos 1. DLE-UPPER PL "hautimagne" Episoriculus tornensis Petényia cf. dehneli Promimomys microdon n. sp. Mimomys silasensis n. sp. Muscardinus giganteus n. sp. Episoriculus cf. tornensis Petényia dehneli Polonomys insuliferus Osztramos 9., 13., Podlesice Q l-H ? balta varian pontian pikermian ? Amblycoptus oligodon "Anourosorex" kormosi "very primitiv" Arvicolid Polgárdi Kohfidisch = (Gyepüfüzes) The Localities 9. and 13. seem to fall in Western European stratigraphy between the "Zone de Teruel" (THALER, 1966) and the "Zone de Perpignan" (newly revised by HUGUENEY and MEIN, 1966) perhaps near the age of the Localities of the "Zone de Hautimagne" (MEIN and MICHAUX, 1970). + WILSON, personal communication
