Abstract
The Hemphillian McKay Reservoir, Oregon, local fauna is correlated with the Paote and Ertemte faunas of North China and Montpellier fauna of France. The highest degree of N. china-N. America faunal interchange is among the carnivores, and the lowest in the edentates, primates, and artiodactyls. The local habitat of the major community represented at McKay Reservoir is that of a pond-bank association. Described are: HYDROSCAPHEUS, type H. americanus (Talpidae); LEPTODONTOMYS, type L. oregonensis (Eomyidae); PROSOMYS, type P. mimus (Cricetidae); Ochotona spanglei, Hypolagus oregoneneis (sic; properly spelled in text), Citellus (Otospermophilusy)Wilsoni, Citellus (Citellus) mckayensis, Marmota oregonensis, Perognathus sargenti, Canis condoni, Felis longignathus, Prosthennops brachirostris.
