Remains of the red deer are surprisingly plentiful in the 
glacial and post-glacial deposits of Holderness, and such works as 
Phillips’ ‘Geology of the Yorkshire Coast,” Clement Reid’s 
“ Geology of Holderness,” etc., contain numerous records of them. 
More recently specimens have been collected by Mr. Thomas 
Boynton of Bridlington, Messrs. George Miles, and T. Pygas* 
of Withernsea, Dr. H. B. Hewetson of Easington, and others, 
and the writer has specimens in his possession from Skipsea, 
Withernsea, Ottringham, Ryehill and other places. In no case, 
however, has such an excellent pair of antlers been found, with 
the skull, teeth, etc., in such a splendid state of preservation as 
Mr. Morfitt’s specimen. 
* Described in the ‘‘ Naturalist” for October, 1898. These specimens 
consist of a skull, lower jaws, and atlas and axis vertebr, and were found in 
the peat.
