STRONGYLOCEROS SPELUS. 471 
last deciduous molar, @ m, nor had fully acquired the second 
true molar, m 2. Sufficient of the crown of this tooth has 
risen above the gum to show that it had not the accessory 
column at the base of the outer interspace of the two lobes, 
as in the Megaceros and the large Bovine Ruminants ; but 
that it resembled the Wapiti and Red-deer, both in the 
absence of that column, and in its presence in the first true 
molar, 7m 1. The last deciduous molar shows the same 
large proportional size of the third lobe, which charac- 
terises this tooth in all Ruminants, and distinguishes 
it from the last true molars. I conclude, therefore, that 
this fragment, which is also from Kent’s Hole, and has 
apparently been fractured by the teeth of Hyznas, be- 
longed to another individual of the same great species of 
Round-antlered Deer, to which I have referred the base 
of the antler above described. 
Whether this species be identical with the fossil Cervus 
giganteus of M. Robert, which he distinguishes from the 
Cervus Hibernus, and discovered associated with the Hyena 
and Mammoth in the ferruginous beds at Cussac, Haute 
Loire, I am unable to say.
