which may possibly be of local fabric. Some of the frag- 
ments indicate vessels of a large size. A portion of 
a Roman tile was also found. 
The osseous remains, although fragmentary, are easy 
of determination. 
L-quus caballus (Horse.)—Two left upper molars, an 
atlas vertebra, and a fragmentary femur, can be referred to 
this species. 
Bos taurus (Ox.)—The greater number of the bones 
belong to this species, and they include a fragmentary 
left maxilla, several rami, detached teeth, and limb bones. 
The limb bones clearly show the presence of two breeds 
—a large and small one. Thus a right humerus, wanting 
the proximal epiphysis, has a distal transverse diameter 
of two inches; while the diameter of a small example is 
2:5 inches, and the metacarpals show similar differences. 
Unfortunately, no horn-cores are preserved, so that it is 
impossible to say whether the peculiar race of Bos, which 
occurred in the pre-Roman village at Cleeve Hill, near 
Cheltenham, is present. 
Ovis artes (Sheep.)—Only one bone can be referred 
to this species, and that is a left scapula. 
Sus scrofa (Pig.)—This species is also represented 
by a single bone—a fragmentary right rumus. 
One example of Helzx nemoralzs, Linn., and three 
examples of Hle/zv aspersa, Mill., were forwarded me by 
Mr Richardson. 
The remains found undoubtedly indicate the existence 
of Roman occupation. Whatever was the nature of this, 
one thing is noticeable, and that is, the total absence of 
the coarser pottery which is always associated with the 
remains of the poorer habitations. From the coin, and 
the Gallo-Roman pottery, the date of these remains may 
well be fixed at about 250—300 A.D.
