 619-643. (Peters) Notice of a skeleton of the gigantic deer of Ireland, Cervus 

 megaceros ; with a figure — p. 318-328. The author here discusses the reasons 

 which have been alleged for supposing the gigantic deer to have been coeval 

 with mankind, and pronounces them insufficient. A list is given of localities in 

 the Austrian empire where the remains of the species have occurred, and of the 

 Museums which contain tolerably perfect skeletons of it. Singularly enough, he 

 has been uninformed as to the one which possesses the most complete and 

 interesting collection of such remains. The Museum of the Dublin University 

 contains three skeletons, two adult males and a female. These skeletons are 

 very nearly perfect, being furnished with all the small bones and the incisor 

 teeth ; only a few pieces of the tail being deficient. The female is very elegant, 

 the lightness of the cervical vertebras and the slender limbs presenting a marked 

 contrast to the males. This is supposed to be the only skeleton of the female 

 that has been preserved in any tolerable condition. Besides the skeletons, the 

 Museum possesses six sets of horns, in a series from an early age up to the 

 maximum growth; a very fine small head, with short horns, and a beautifully per- 

 fect set of teeth ; also the individual skull which has given rise to so much dis- 

 cussion, having been represented as fractured by human agency. It seems most 

 reasonable to suppose that the orifice in question was produced by the wrenching 

 off the horns, probably when the skull was first disturbed from its position as it 

 lay embedded in the marsh. (Same) Eeport of the Geological operations in
