摘　　要：依据台湾浅滩西部、澎湖台地和台中浅滩打捞出来的大量哺乳动物化石的研究结果并结合沉积物特征、海面变化和年代测定资料 ,认为晚玉木冰期台湾海峡曾是陆地 ,至少南部是这样。There are a hundred and thousand of mammalian fossils salvaged by fishermen from Taiwan shoal, Penghu platform and Taizhong shoal of the Taiwan Straits. Based on the fossil assemblage, chronometric dating, sediment and sea level change, the age of fossils is considered as Late Würm glaciation. The fossils of different areas from the Taiwan Straits display great identity and are similar to those discovered in the Huai river valley rather than in the same latitude. This must have resulted from the Late Würm glaciation when the sea level became so low that the Taiwan Straits was dry land and mammals of that time moved south along the East China Sea continental shelf with the cold wind. It is inconsistent with the existing evidence mentioned above that all the Taiwan Straits had kept a shallow sea environment during Late Würm glaciation.
