Declining groups. — There are marked extinctions or emigrations. The absentees among the recorded mammals of this Aquitanian stage are the palseotheres, amynodonts or cadurcotheres, the entclodonts or giant pigs, the gelocids (Gelocus), as well as their enemies the carnivorous hyaenodonts. With these exceptions the Middle Oligocene or Stampian mammals (p. 193) probably all continue at this time. Yet it is certain that we have here

Correlation of Deperet. only a partial picture of the Old World life of the times, because the only mammals known are those adapted to lowlands and lake and river borders. Highly distinctive are the giant anthracotheres (A. magnum), the last of this large phylum, although the smaller, short-crowned anthracotheres (Brachyodus) survive into the Miocene.
