282 KELIQULE AQUITANIOE. 



M. de Verneuil at its sitting of the 21st of May, 1860, and of which Sir Charles 

 Lyell makes mention in pages 152 and 153 of the 'Antiquity of Man' [Eourth 

 Edition, 1873, p. 199]. 



At the Gorge d'Enfer worked flints have also heen found, as well as Reindeer- 

 horn unbarbed lance-heads * of a type differing from those found in any other of 

 the Dordogne Caves, but identical with those of Aurignac (Haute Garonne) and 

 of Chatelperron (Allier). 



The discovery of this fragment [and other bones] of Ovibos moschatus in the 

 Gorge d'Enfer gives us the most southern spot where this species has been 

 observed t ; and its Quaternary habitat % is carried down fifteen degrees south of 

 its existing limit in North America, where it is known that this animal is rarely 

 found below the sixtieth degree of latitude. 



The Reindeer, whose migrations are still more extensive, advanced yet further 

 south during the Quaternary Period, as I have found its remains on the northern 

 slopes of the Pyrenees. [See above, page 147 &c.] 



* [For subsequent notices of these lanceolate harpoon-heads and arrow-points of Reindeer-antler, found 

 at the Gorge d'Enfer and Cro-Magnon, see above, page 94, and in the Description of Plates, B. XII. & XIII., 

 pages 95 and 97. EDITOR.] 



t The supposed skull of Bos Pallasit, De Kay, from the alluvium of Mississippi at New Madrid, has heen 

 recognized hy Mr. Leidy as referable to his genus Bootherium. 



t [Among the many interesting relics left by the Cave-folk in the Kesslerloch, near Thayngen (Thaingen), 

 Canton SchafFhausen, is a carved head of a Musksheep (see 'Mittheil. antiquar. Gesell. in Zurich,' 1875, 

 vol. xix. part 1, p. 36, pi. 7. fig. 66), showing that the early inhabitants of that part of Switzerland had 

 some knowledge of this animal. EDITOR, July 16, 1875.]
