中文摘要：

我国东北地区更新世野牛化石的发现已有近一个世纪历史，尽管先后有不少零星报道，但至今无一篇专门文献，并且前人报道的头骨化石材料无一是完整的。本文记述了保存基本完好的2件野牛头骨和3件下颌骨化石来自吉林省乾安县大布苏地区，地质时代为距今约2万年。基于其形态特征和测量数据，本文将其归入草原野牛Bison priscus（Bojanus，1827）。前人将东北平原晚更新世野牛归入Bison exigbllds Matsumoto，1915的做法存在诸多问题，因为后者在模式产地、地质时代及形态特征等方面都与东北晚更新世的野牛差异甚大。我国东北平原晚更新世的野牛应归入草原野牛种，该种是中-晚更新世广泛分布于全北区的种类，也是猛犸象一披毛犀动物群的最主要成员之一。

英文摘要：

The discovery of fossil bison in China has an almost one hundred year long history, during which bison fossils were reported occasionally, but no paper specially on the discoveries was published. Any fossil materials reported were poor and lacked complete skeletal materials. The present paper describes two almost complete crania and three semi-mandibles. These fossils were discovered in the Dabusu area in Qian＇an County, Jilin Province. The geological age of the fossil-bearing stratum is 20ka BE Based on morphological characters and dimensions these bison fossils are referred to as the steppe bison, Bison priscus （Bojanus, 1827）. In the last half-century, fossil bison from northeast China were included in the species Bison exiguus Matsumoto, 1915, which seems odd today because of historic disagreements in type locality, geological age and morphological characters. We propose that all Late Pleistocene bison fossils from the northeast China plain should be referred to the species Bison priscus that once roamed throughout the Holarctic region during the Middle and Late Pleistocene. Bison was among the most important element of the Mammuthus-Coelodonta fauna in northeast China.
