on the frontal surface. Both cusps are accompanied by anterolophule that meet in one point the anterior appendices of the proto- and metaconid. The peak of the metaconid is more forward than that of the protoconid. The mesolophid is long and reaches the tooth margin. The entoconid and the hypoconid is connected on the frontal part, then the former is gradually transformed into posterolophid. No cingulum is present on the tooth margin. - The anterocone is divided into two sections. The lingual anteroloph is connected to the protocone, and is under-developed. The proto- and parastyle is present in the form of small cusps. The labial epiphysis may be missing, or may be present, and in this latter case it may be long or of a medium length. In case of two teeth an island has developed among the four cones, and in case of one tooth no island could be found. The mesoloph is long or is of a medium length. M

2 - There are islands among the cones. The mesoloph is of medium length. The cingulum is strong. Measurements: (length x width in mm) M. = 2. 0 x 1. 1 (Holotype) M

1 Description: So far the author has not had the possibility to study the Kohfidisch material, therefore the description of BACHMAYER and WILSON (1970, 1978), and the critical remarks of DAXNER-HÖCK (1972) were taken as basis. From the above studies the unanimous conclusion can be drawn that the basic features of the structure of Kowalskia fahlbuschi, its variation and size differ from Neocricetodon schaubi KRETZOI, found at Csákvár, and indicates a good correlation with the two Neocricetodon species determined by KRETZOI at Sümeg (KRETZOI 1985). Description of Neocricetodon fahlbuschi (BACHMAYER and WILSON) found at Sümeg: M± - The anteroconid is undivided. The tendency for division is already indicated by the presence of the double anterolophulid. No labial or lingual epiphysis could be found. No closed ridges producing islands are present among the conids. The mesolophid is long, and the bilateral cingula are well developed. The posterolophid is connected to the entoconid on the lingual side in an elongated way. M - The teeth are wide and the synclinals are "padded". The anterocone is definitely bifid. The labial epiphysis is present at each tooth, it is long, and ends in a small cusp (parastylide) at the margin. From the labial anterocone no anteroloph has developed towards the paracone, unlike in case of the lingual anterocone. This latter one, in a dichotomic way, is**joined to the two frontal cones. The cones, as related to the axis of the teeth, are located symmetrically. In each case there is an island between the proto- and paracone. The mesoloph, except for one case when it is of medium length, is always long. The lateral cingulum can be pointed out. The hypocone and the metacone is joined by posterolophule, and not by separate crests (metalophule).
