488 CERVUS. 
Tun Rorsuck is now confined, in Britain, to the district 
of Seotland north of the Forth, but numerous remains 
attest a former distribution of the species as extensive as 
that of the Red-deer. Dr. Buckland specifies, amongst 
the cervine remains of the Cave of Paviland, an antler, 
“approaching to that of the Roe.” I have received 
characteristic remains of the Cervus capreolus from the 
ossiferous caves in Pembrokeshire, by favour of Charles 
Stokes Esq.; and from a fissure of a limestone rock in 
Caldy Island, off Tenby, Glamorganshire, where the 
Capreoline antlers were discovered associated with remains 
of the Rhinoceros tichorhinus, by the Rey. R. Greaves. 
I have also been favoured with fossil antlers and bones of 
the Roebuck from the limestone caverns in the neigh- 
bourhood of Stoke-upon-Trent, by Robert Garner Esq., 
the author of the History of Staffordshire. 
Almost the entire skeleton of a small Ruminant, agreeing 
in size and general characters with the female Roe, has 
been discovered in the lacustrine formation at Bacton, with 
the remains of the Trogontherium, Mammoth, &c. This 
specimen is preserved in the Norfolk and Norwich Museum. 
The antlers figured above, the one (fig. 202) of a young 
Roe of the third year, the other (fig. 203), at the sixth 
year, were discovered ten feet deep below the fen-land of 
Cambridgeshire. 
In the collection of British fossils belonging to Mr. Pur- 
due of Islington, there is an almost entire left ramus of 
the lower jaw of a small Ruminant, identical in size and 
conformation with that of the Roebuck (fig. 201). It was 
found in a lacustrine deposit of marl, with freshwater shells, 
below the bed of peat, at Newbury in Berkshire, where 
skulls and antlers of the Roebuck are not uncommon.
