CERVUS BUCKLANDI. Buckland’s Fossil-Deer. 
Smaller species of Deer of Kirkdale, Buck anp, Reliquiz Diluviane, pp. 
19, 264, pl. 9, fig. 5. 
Or the former existence of a species of Deer, about the 
size of the Rein-deer, but differing from all known existing 
species in Kurope, the fossil fragment of the antler above 
figured affords good evidence. Dr. Buckland, who gave 
the first description and figure of this specimen, which is 
from the cave of Kirkdale, especially distinguishes it from 
the rest as ‘‘ having the lowest antler at the distance of 
three inches and a half from the lower extremity, or base, 
the circumference of which is eight inches.”
