BISON PRISCUS. 497 
The metatarsal bone of the Bison Fig. 207. 
priscus from Clacton (fig. 207) shows 
an unusual prominence of the inner 
border of the an- 
terior groove for

tarsal bone. I have 
seen the same cha- 
racter in a meta- 
tarsal bone of cor- 
responding dimen- 
sions found in the 
brick earth at Ken- 
sington ; and in two 
metatarsals of a 
smaller species or 
variety of Bison 
(fig. 206), from the 
cavernous fissures 
at Oreston : it may
