Rh with it in the longer neck and wider interspace between the condyles as compared with the African elephant. The former character is shown in a drawing taken by Mr. O'Reilly on the spot where the remains were discovered, and from other femora from the same cavern and not now in his possession; they are of the left side, and represent a youthful and a full-grown elephant.

b. A fragment of about a foot of the distal extremity of a right femur, including condyles, and of possibly the same individual as that of the first-named fragment.

6. A portion of a right radius, showing about 6 inches of the proximal extremity. Evidently, from the round and smooth shaft, it belonged to an adolescent individual.

1. Fragments of large horn-cores of different individuals.

2. A right ramus, without teeth. Length 18 inches.

3. A right scapula, showing glenoid cavity, a fragment of the spine, and the greater portion of the body. The glenoid cavity is 2⋅8 inches by 2⋅2 inches.

4. The proximal half of a radius and ulna, right side. The breadth of the articular surface of the former is 4 inches.

5. Several dorsal and lumbar vertebrae of an individual about the same dimensions as the owner of the preceding bones.

6. a. An entire left femur, recently broken. Length 19 inches; width of head 3 inches. Antero-posterior diameter of distal extremity 6⋅6 inches. Smallest diameter of the shaft 2⋅1 inches.

b. A lower half of a right femur of evidently the same animal.

7. Entire right and left tibiæ. Length 16⋅5 inches.

These bovine remains appear for the most part to have belonged to one individual; and, as in the case of the elephant, bones of young and immature individuals predominated, from which it might be inferred that from inexperience they would have been more likely than the adult animal to fall into gaping rents.

1. Fragments of beam, brow-antlers, and snags of a large stag, of about the dimensions of a full-grown horn of red-deer.

2. Humerus of right side, with loss of the proximal and distal epiphyses, youthful.

3. Fragments of ribs.

4. Dorsal and lumbar vertebrae, with entire sacrum.

5. Nearly entire ossa innominata.

6. Eight and left entire femora, each 12 inches in length.

7. Left tibia entire, 13⋅5 inches in length.

These cervine remains agree with the same bones of Cervus elaphus, and very probably in great part belonged to one individual.
