APPENDIX 



Family, SUID^. The PIGS. 



[A very large pig, Sus erymanthius, which inhabited England 

 during the Pliocene, may have lingered on into the Pleisto- 

 cene. Its remains — which may be identical with a species 

 variously termed Sus antiquus — have been obtained from the 

 late Pliocene formations of East Anglia, together with those 

 of Sus palcBochcerusJ] 



Sus scrofa. The Wild Boar. 



(Extinct. Inhabited Great Britain and Ireland through the 

 Pleistocene and Prehistoric Periods, and only became finally 

 extinct in Britain during the seventeenth century.) 



Family, CERVID^E. The DEER. 

 Capreolus caprsea. The Roe Deer. 



(Formerly abundant in England, Wales, and Scotland, but now 

 restricted as a wild species to Scotland, though reintroduced 

 in a feral condition into England and Wales, and also 

 imported into Ireland, of which country the Roe is not a 

 native.) 

 Alces tnachlis. The Elk, or Moose. 



(Extinct. An inhabitant of Great Britain and Ireland in the 

 Pleistocene Period, and possibly remaining on in certain 

 districts into Prehistoric times.) 

 Rangifer tarandus. The Reindeer. 



(Extinct. An inhabitant of Great Britain and Ireland during 

 the Pleistocene Period. It lingered on through the Pre- 

 historic Period into the Historic, and probably did not 

 become finally extinct in the north of Scotland till the 

 eleventh century.) 

 Cervus dama. The Fallow Deer. 



(A species doubtfully indigenous to Great Britain. Fossil 

 remains very like Cervus dama and others belonging to 

 Cervus browni and carfiutorum, together with C. savini, closely 

 allied forms, show that Damine deer certainly inhabited 

 Britain at the beginning of the Pleistocene Period. It is 

 thought by some authorities that the existing Cervus dama, 

 which is found in a feral condition in England and Scotland, 

 was introduced into Great Britain either by the Romans, or 

 by the Norman, Angevin, and Stuart kings.) 

 Cervus giganteus. The Megaceros, or Gigantic Deer. 



(Extinct. Inhabited Great Britain and Ireland — the last country 

 in great numbers — during the Pleistocene and Prehistoric 

 Periods, perhaps lingering in Ireland to the verge of the 

 Historical age.)
