The fauna collected by GY. TÖRÖK and D. JÁNOSSY showed indeed a glacial overall picture but their collection included microvertebrates, as mentioned above, of a minimal quantity only. In the following I present this list of fauna with numbers of specimens. Rana méhelyi Bolkay and Ranidae indet. 34 Ophidia indet. 7 Anas querquedula L. 1 Anas platyrhynchos L. 1 Lyrurus tetrix (L.) 5 Rallus aquaticus L. 1 Asia flammeus Pontoppidan 1 Bubo bubo L. 1 Coloeus monedula L. 1 Passeriformes indet. 6 Sorex araneus L. 2 Talpa europaea L. 3 Chiroptera indet. 6 Lepus sp.(aff. timidus L.) 13 Ochotona pusilla (Pallas) 5 Castorfiber L. 2 Citellus citelloides Kormos 10 Dicrostonyx torquatus (Pallas) 3 mandibles Arvicola terrestris (L.) 7 Myodes glareolus (Schreber) 3 mandibles Microtus arvalis (Pallas) 10 mandibles Microtus oeconomus (Pallas) 5 mandibles Microtus gregalis (Pallas) 13 mandibles Spalax cf. leucodon Nordmann 5 Allactaga jaculus (Pallas) 7 Canis lupus L. 10 Vulpes vulpes L. 21 Ursus spelaeus Ros.-Heinroth 10 Putorius eversmanni Lesson 2 Crocotta spelaea (Goldfuss) 15 Leo spelaeus (Goldfuss) 1 Equus sp. (large species) 26 Asinus hydruntinus Regalia 23 Coelodonta antiquitatis (Blumenbach) 4 Cervus elaphus L. 3 Megaloceros giganteus (Blumenbach) 10 ? Rangif er sp. 1 Bison priscus (Bojanus) 44 Mammuthus primigenius (Blumenbach) 2 The main result of my excavations is that I could separate the younger, cold fauna of the upper "fine-grained" layers (1-2, 3) from the older fauna of interglaci­al character of the lower "coarse-grained" layers (4, 5, 6). The composition of the faunas of the single layers are shown in Table 1. (I intend to publish the snail fauna in the future.)
