Remarks.—This skeleton is the most perfect specimen we 
have hitherto possessed; but the animal was not full-grown at 
its death. In the museum there are several bones which indi- 
cate somewhat larger individuals. Yet this species, as it came 
in long after the Scandinavian boulder period, and therefore at 
a much later time than that during which the same species lived 
in England, has never attained to the same size here as there. 
The skull which Prof. Owen gives in his pe tOny of British 
Fossil Mammals,’ London, 1846, p- 498, fig. 208*, is in length 
3 feet 1 inch, and the distance between the points ‘of the horn- 
cores is more than 3 feet 6 inches, and the width of the forehead 
is near 1] inches; os metacarpi about 10 inches 5 lines; os 
metatarsi about 12 inches. At the Hunterian Museum in Lon- 
don there is a horn from the same species of animal found under 
turf in the marl, in which bones of the Cervus megaceros occur. 
From this situation it may be concluded that it isa still older and, 
in fact, much larger form than the preceding. It contains in 
length, according to the upper curvature, 3 feet 2 inches, and 
the circumference at the base is 1 foot 7} inches! With us 
they neither occur so large nor from so early a period. 
Place of abode.—This colossal species of Ox, which is no longer
