Apodemus sylvaticus Linné; B/16: 3 maxilla-fragm., 12 mandible-fr.; B/17: 8 maxilla-fragm., 13 mandible-fragm., molar. The remains of this banal form of our Pleistocene do not differ, according to our present knowledge, from the recent species. Cricetus cricetus nanus Schaub; B/16: 36 maxilla-fr., 16 mandible-fr., 34 molar-fr., humerus-fr., femur-fr.; B/17: 31 maxilla-fr., 31 mandible-fr. The material, represented by about 150 fragments of teeth and bones, falls within the range of variation of the subspecies C. nanus. The length of teeth-row of some few measurable specimens is about 6 mm. The variation of the same measurement in Hungarian Allocricetus material of the Lower and Middle Pleistocene ranges between 4.1 - 5.2 mm, in Cricetus cricetus of the same age between 7.6 - 10.0 mm. C. cricetus nanus seems to be fairly characteristic for the Allophaiomys-faums of our territory (JÁNOSSY 1986). Mimomys savini Hinton; B/16: 25 Mj and 10 mandibles (only two with the whole tooth-row); B/17: 6 M| (2 in the mandible). The remains of this stratigraphically so important water vole (the size [length of M| 2.9-3.3 mm] and enamel pattern of Arvicola [only in one case a Mimomys-\s\et], with strongly hypselodont roots, few cement and triangles with thinner enamel in_front than in caudal side) are very typical (see JÁNOSSY 1961). Only a few of the known faunas with Mimomys savini (more than one hundred but growing in number from year to year) can be characterised by the contemporaneous occurrence of this species with Allophaiomys, which seems to have a stratigraphical significance. Mimomys (small species); B/16: Maxilla-fragm. with M 2 , M 3 , 6 Mj, 2 mandibles with Mj; B/17: Mol. sup., 3 mandibles with Mj. I listed under the designation "Mimomys small sp." all rooted molars smaller than those of M. savini. 9 Mj represented the Mimomys pusillus type, one matches M. reidi. It would be desirable to revise these two "morphotypes", which are present from the beginning of the classical Pleistocene, because their evolutionary changes are unknown. Allophaiomyspliocaenicus Kormos; B/16: 2 Maxilla-fr., 149 Mj; B/17: maxilla-fr., 2 mol, 14 M[. This is the richest occurrence of this species in Hungary. A. pliocaenicus (the most important "index fossil" among voles, besides Mimomys) is characterised by rootless molars and few cement in the enamel re-entrants of the molars. The morphological variation of Mj is very insignificant, chiefly Arvicola-like (length of M, ranges between 2.5 - 3.0 mm), some specimens are similar to "praenivaloides Chaline", but a typical "Mcrote-pattern" is not observable. Very . typical is the nondifferentiated, thin enamel (personally seen in the material from several localities on the occasion of the Neogene Vertebrate Conference in Krakow, 1994). In the localities where samples were taken for absolute chronological determinations, the radiometric ages range around 1-1.2 million years. Lagurus arankae Kretzoi; B/16: 2 maxilla-fr., molaris, 422 Mj and mandibles; B/17: 53 maxilla-fr., 4 molars, 580 M, and mandibles. This very rich material (more than 1200 specimens) shows, as in the case of Allophaiomys, an insignificant morphological variation of the Mj. The morphotype arankae is absolutely predominant and the "pannonicus-type" appears in less than 1 percent. This very homogeneous material of Lagurus underlines the stratigraphical significance of the above mentioned, from this point of view important, voles.
