APPENDIX 389 



Elepkas primigenius. The Mammoth. 



(Extinct. The Mammoth was found over all England and 

 Wales, in the southern and lowland regions of Scotland, 

 and all over Ireland. It entered Great Britain during the 

 Pleistocene Period, and lingered in Ireland almost to the 

 verge of historical times.) 



SUB-ORDER, PERISSODACTYLA. ODD-TOED UNGULATES. 

 FAMILY, RHINOCEROTIDM. RHINOCEROSES. 



Ccelodonta [or Diceros] leptorhinus. The Slender-nosed Rhinoceros. 

 (Extinct. Inhabited Southern and Central England and Wales 



in the Pleistocene Period.) 

 Diceros megarhinus. The Big-nosed Rhinoceros. 



(Extinct. Inhabited Southern England and South Wales in the 



Pleistocene Period.) 

 Diceros antiquitatis. The Woolly Rhinoceros. 



(Extinct. Inhabited England and Wales in great abundance 

 during the Pleistocene Period, lingering perhaps down into 

 Prehistoric times and the advent of Neolithic man.) 



FAMILY, EQUIDM. The HORSES. 



Equus stenonis. Steno's Horse. 



(Extinct. This was a primitive type of horse which was still 

 existing in Eastern and perhaps Southern England at the 

 commencement of the Pleistocene Period.) 



Equus caballus. The True Horse. 



(Exists in a domestic condition; but probably descended from 

 the wild form in the west of Ireland, and possibly parts of 

 England and Scotland. As a wild species the True Horse 

 existed in enormous numbers throughout Great Britain and 

 Ireland from the close of the Pliocene, through the Pleistocene 

 and Prehistoric, to the Historical Period.) 



SUB-ORDER, ARTIODACTYLA. The EVEN-TOED UNGULATES. 

 FAMILY, HIPPOPOTAMID.-E. HIPPOPOTAMUSES. 



Hippopotamus amphibius. 



(Extinct. Inhabited England as far north as Yorkshire, possibly 

 also parts of Wales. Remains of the hippopotamus are 

 thought to have been found in Antrim caves in the north- 

 east of Ireland. The hippopotamus lingered as an inhabitant 

 of England to near the close of the Pleistocene Period.)
