| Abstract: | P. Teilhard de Chardin (1881.5.1～1955.4.10), a great scientist and thinker, spent more than twenty years (1923～1946) in China. During this period, he devoted mainly to the study of Cenozoic mammals and related sciences. A brief review of his scientific career on paleomammalogy of China is presented in this paper in commemoration of the 48 th anniversary of his death. Ⅰ Scientific activity in China. It may be divided into three substages (1) 1923～1929 Cooperated with E. Licent of Musée Hoang ho Pei ho, Tientsin (Tianjin), researched in Sjara osso gol, Qingyang, Dalai Nor, and Nihewan and published three monographs 7～9] . (2) 1929～1937 After being appointed as an adviser of the Cenozoic Laboratory, co worked mainly with D. Black, C. C. Young and W. C. Pei. In addition to joining the excavation at Choukoutian (Zhoukoudian), investigated also in Shanxi, Shaanxi, eastern side of Qinling, Gorge and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Guangdong, Guangxi etc. In 1930～1931, joined the Central Asiatic Expeditions and Sino France Expedition respectively. Six monographs were published 14～16,19,23,34] . (3) 1937～1945 During the Second World War, studied Zhoukoudian fossils continuously with Pei, and the Institute of Geo Biology (Peking) was created by Teilhard and Leroy in 1940. Nine monographs were published 18,20～22,24～26,27,29] . Ⅱ The achievement on the late Cenozoic biostratigraphy in China On the basis of a lot of field works and the study on almost all the late Cenozoic faunas in China as yet, Teilhard gave the correlation of late Cenozoic stratigraphy and the sequence of mammalian faunas as shown in table 1. Ⅲ The achievement on paleomammalogy in China Up to 1945, about 750 species of fossil mammals in China were described, of which 14 new genera and 84 new species were proposed by Teilhard and 280 species either identified or discussed by him also. In his classic book, the Chinese Fossil Mammals(co worked with Leroy, including Japan and Korea forms) 29] , he determined and qualified all the fossil forms on their zoological and paleontological values respectively. He used many simple signs to indicate his taxatomical point view for each species. The book, even at present, can yet be regarded as the only comprehensive book summarizing paleomammalogy in China. Another outstanding achievement of Teilhard is the study of Siphneidae (=Myospalacinae) 25] . The result of this study not only possesses the value of the biostratigraphy as the “index fossil”, but also possesses the phylogeny significance of biology. It was an achievement worthy of great praise. As G. G. Simpson pointed out 35] “A good vertebrate example of ‘programmed evolution' is the sequence of the late Miocene to recent Myospalacini of China described by Teilhard. |
