1872.] agrees in every measurement with the above, with the sole exception that the antler is slightly smaller (a point which varies with age). Although, therefore, the brow-tyne has been broken away, which is so important a guide to the determination of the different Cervine species, the specimen from Norfolk may be assigned to the same species. It is so like the lithograph given by Prof. Gervais (op. cit. pl. xvi. fig. 4) that it does not require a figure. A second frontlet of precisely the same character has been obtained from the Forest-bed at Easton, Suffolk, by Mr. Ewen, and is now preserved in the Chichester Museum. The left antler is in the same condition as that of the French specimen, being broken off just above the first tyne. The base of a shed right antler obtained from the Chillesford beds of Aldeby by the late C. B. Rose, Esq., of Yarmouth, and now in the Norwich Museum, presents the deeply channelled cylindrical beam with a strongly defined burr running round it at right angles to the long axis, the brow-antler rising at a distance of about 2 inches from the burr—points which characterize C. carnutorum. In my belief it belongs to that species. The basal circumference is 6⋅5; and the first tyne is 2⋅5 inches from the burr (fig. 3). Nor is there any thing strange in the Deer of St.-Prest being found in the Forest-bed, since Trogontherium Cuvieri, Rhinoceros megarhinus, and Hippopotamus major have been furnished by both strata.

It remains now to examine the value in classification of this
