In England, as on the Continent, remains of the genus 
Hquus attest that a species equalling a middle-sized Horse, 
and one of the size of a large Ass, or Zebra, have been 
the associates of the Mammoth, Rhinoceros, and other 
extinct quadrupeds, whose remains are so generally dis- 
persed in the drift formations, bone-caves, and the post- 
pliocene tertiary deposits. Almost every geological au- 
thor, who has had oceasion to notice the Mammalian 
fossils of these recent periods, has made mention of such 
a combination. It has been observed by Dr. Mantell* 
in the ‘ Elephant-bed” at Brighton; by Mr. Clift-+ in 
the cavernous fissures at Oreston; by Dr. Buckland? in 
the ossiferous caves at Karkdale, in the Mendips, and at
