–Title-page bears imprint "Bulletin de la Société Roumaine des Sciences", but with no volume or number indicated; possibly publ. as a separate. Rev.: Homme Préhist. 13: 295-298? An elaborate and idiosyncratic treatise, arguing that most if not all mammals are primitively and persistently eaters of molluscs, insects, and other animal food - including sirs. (251-256, 523), which despite appearances are affirmed to be primarily molluscivores! The "petite histoire de ce livre" (525-532) is a revealing account of the genesis of the author's thinking.
