292, Mr. G. T. Newton’s Note on the 
condition that those specimens should be duly noticed. There 
being no local museum either at Carshalton or at Croydon, I 
think that the Council took the best possible course in sending 
the choicer specimens to the Geological Museum in Jermyn 
Street, where they have met with the ever-ready attention of my 
friend and former colleague Mr. HE. T. Newroy, who himself 
went down and selected specimens. 
Without waiting for a formal paper, the discovery was noticed 
by Prof. Watts and myself at the first meeting of the Geological 
Society in the session of 1897-8, an account of which will be 
found in Quart. Journ. Geol. Soe. vol. liv. p. ii; but I thought 
that it should not pass without a fuller description before a local 
society. ; 
Nore on tHe Mammanian Rematns. 
By EK. T. Newron, F.R.S. 
A nuMBER of mammalian bones were found at a depth of about 
fifteen feet below the sandy loam described by Mr. Whitaker, 
and a little above the London Clay. The remains discovered 
included the skull and other bones of a rhinoceros, a portion of 
the tusk of an elephant, and a number of bones belonging to two 
or three horses. 
The chief interest centres in the remains of the rhinoceros. 
which, for reasons to be presently mentioned, indicate the age 
of the deposit in which they were found. The skull of this 
rhinoceros is unusually well preserved, notwithstanding that it 
has now lost its teeth, one molar arch, the tip of the nasal bones, 
and the nasal septum ; it is 31 in. long in its present condition, 
and when perfect must have been at least an inch or two inches 
longer. The two large roughened bosses which are seen, one 
near the end of the nose and the other some way back, evidently 
supported each a horn similar to these of the two-horned rhino- 
ceros of Africa (Rhinoceros bicornis). It is to be regretted that 
the teeth and nasal septum are wanting, for those were doubtless 
present when the skull was first discovered; and it is in these 
that the most characteristic features of the species are found. It 
is clear, however, from the fractured surfaces, that the bony nasal 
septum was well developed, and from this and the form of the 
skull it is concluded that it belonged to the woolly rhinoceros 
(Rhinoceros antiquitatis). Besides the skull one perfect bone of 
the fore-limb, the radius, was found, as well as a portion of a 
hind leg-bone, the tibia, and a rib. 
The only portion of an elephant discovered was a piece of the 
base of a large tusk, which when perfect must have been nearly
