100 EARLY MAN IN BRITAIN. [CHAP, v 



At the present time the musk sheep, the elegant white 

 arctic fox, the reindeer, and the glutton or wolverine 

 (Fig. 21), live side by side in circumpolar America, and 

 the three last range over the far north of Asia and 

 Europe, the glutton, according to Zimmermann, having 

 been caught as far south as Brunswick and Saxony. Of 

 these the first two have been met with as far to the

south- west as the Pyrenees; the third as far to the south 

 as Switzerland ; and the fourth as far to the west as the 

 caves of Somersetshire, and to the south as Auvergne 

 (E. Lartet). 



To this division also must be added the Cave-man, 

 who, as we shall see in the seventh chapter, is repre- 

 sented at the present time by the Eskimos, and differed 

 from the Palaeolithic man of the river deposits probably 

 in race, and certainly in culture. 



Incoming Species now restricted to Cold 

 Mountainous Regions. 



The preceding group of animals now living in an 

 arctic climate was associated in Pleistocene Europe
