THE VERTEBRATE AND MOLLUSCAN REMAINS 
FROM

The vertebrate and other remains which have been so 
kindly submitted to us by Mr Brewer are of the greatest 
interest. It cannot be too strongly urged that at the pre- 
sent time we possess far too little information about 
the earlier races of domesticated animals. Practically the 
only scientific work that has been done in this country is 
to be found in the publications of the late General Pitt 
Rivers, on the excavations in Cranborne Chase, and in the 
papers of the late Professor G. Rolleston. Measurements 
are rarely given, investigators being usually content with 
listing the names of the species, oblivious of the fact that: 
‘““science is measurement.” Few people who have not 
worked at such remains can appreciate the numerous 
minor problems which continually confront and too often 
baffle the osteologist in his endeavours, be they directed 
towards specifically distinguishing the various animal- 
remains, or towards elucidating the mysteries of abnormal 
development. The osseous-remains from Cleeve Hill, 
though numerous, are very fragmentary, and by no means 
easy to determine. ‘Their fragmentary condition arises 
from two causes: the bones having been split by man 
for marrow, whilst many of these fragments—as well as 
practically all the smaller bones—have been gnawed by
