Juglans cinerea LINNE and Cervus cf., yesoensis HEUDE from the Vicinity of Hatiozi City, Tokyo Prefecture

Abstract

In the present report are given new localities of two interesting fossils from Tama hill in the vicinity of Hatiozi City, Tokyo-hu., Juglans cinerea LINNE was discovered in a blue fine sand with some moulds of molluscan shells and fragments of lignite in the right bank of the river Asakawa in Ameda, Yui-mura, Minamitama-gun., The lower jaw of Cervus cf., yesoensis HEUDE was found at Haizimawatasi, Syowa-mura, Kitatama-Gun., These two fossils are generally regarded as having close bearing on the geological ages owing to their short chronological distributions., Jnglans cinerea probably indicates the Upper Pliocene age for the first locality, and Cervus cf., yesoensis ranges from Lower Pleistocene to Recent, thus the age of the second locality is Pleistocene.,
