The Introduction, by Sir A. Brady, pp. vii-xvii, gives an account 



of the origin of the collection, offers an explanation of the occurrence 



of so many fossil animals in the Ilford marshes. A Description of the 



liocality, with Note on the Mammalian Remains, by H. Woodward and 



W. Davies (pp. xviii-xxvii) is largely derived from papers published 



in the Geol. Mag. The descriptive catalogue (pp. 1-62) contains an 



jiccount of the collection, now in the British Museum. The fossils are 



referable to the following species : — Felis spela^a, Canis vulpes, Ursus, 



El ephas piimi genius^ E. antiqims, Rhinoceros leptorhinus, R. megarJdnus, 



R. tichorhimis, Equus fossilis, Megaceros Eibernicus, Cervus elapJiuSj 



C. sp.. Bison priscus, Bos giganteus, Hijjpopotamus, &c. An appendix 



contains a letter from Prof. W. Flower, lists of Mammalia from Ilford 



in other collections, a note on Rhinoceros leptorhinus by H. Woodward, 



and other matter chiefly extracted from the Geol. Mag. L. C. M.
