fragmentary metatarsals, however, agreed, as far as they 
were preserved, very closely with the corresponding bone 
in the skeletons obtained from a Denehole at Swanscomb, 
Kent, and pronounced by Dr Durst, of Zurich, to be true 
Bos longifrons.

Although a careful search was made, no trace of the 
occurrence of Los primigentus was detected: a species 
which is not infrequently represented in collections from 
similar situations of equal antiquity. 
Ovis aries (Sheep.) 
The remains of the sheep occurred in great profusion, 
and it is evident that this animal was largely used for food. 
Practically all the limb-bones have been broken. Not 
a fragment of a skull or horn-core has occurred, which is 
noteworthy as well as unfortunate. A considerable num- 
ber of the bones are those of lambs. It is quite possible 
that the goat is represented, though no fragment has yet 
been recognized which could be definitely said to belong to 
that species. 
The teeth of the sheep, as already noted, show in many 
cases traces of alveolar abscesses.
