APPENDIX 391 



Cerws elaphus. The Red Deer. 



(Still found in a wild state on Exmoor (Somerset and Devon), 

 and perhaps in some parts of the north-west of England. 

 Found wild in the county of Kerry (Ireland), and in the 

 Highlands and some of the large islands of Scotland. In a 

 feral condition this deer is common in England, Wales, and 

 Ireland.) 



FAMILY, BOVID&. The HOLLOW-HORNED RUMINANTS. 

 Gazella anglica. The English Gazelle. 



(Extinct. Found fossil in East Anglia.) 

 Saiga tatarica. The Saiga, or Swollen-nosed Gazelle. 



(Extinct. Inhabited Southern England in the Pleistocene Period.) 

 Ovibos moschatus. The Musk Ox. 



(Extinct. Inhabited Southern and Eastern England in the 

 Pleistocene Period.) 



Capra hircus. The Common Goat. 



(Doubtful as an indigenous British species, though common as 

 a domestic and even a feral animal. Feral goats found in 

 Western Ireland and in Wales.) 

 [Ovis savini. 



A wild sheep, possibly connected with the Armenian Mouflon. 

 Inhabited Eastern England as late as the early Pleistocene 

 Period.] 



[Ovis aries. The Common Sheep. 



Exists throughout the British Islands as a domestic animal, and 

 in a domestic condition it was certainly introduced. Whether 

 or not any true wild Ovis aries inhabited Ireland or Great 

 Britain is still a moot question. Remains very like what 

 might have been the wild stock of the domestic sheep are 

 found in Pleistocene deposits in Ireland.] 

 Bos priscus. The extinct European Bison. 



(Extinct. An inhabitant of England as far north as Yorkshire 

 in the early part of the Pleistocene Period.) 



Bos taunts. The Bull (domestic and feral). 



Bos taurus (primigenius). The Urus, or Aurochs. 



(Extinct as a wild species. Inhabited Great Britain, but not 

 Ireland, during the Pleistocene and Prehistoric Periods, 

 lingering perhaps down to the commencement of the His- 

 torical age, when it merged into the existing breeds of feral 

 cattle. With it may be classed Bos taurus longifrons, which
