76 CERVIDJB. 



The Rev. S. W. King, F.G.S., discovered numerous 

 remains in the cave of Aurignac in Haute Garonne, in 

 1864, where they had also been found to the probable 

 extent of some ten or twelve individuals by M. Lartet, 

 associated with Pleistocene remains. 



Sir Charles Lyell* also notices remains as having 

 been found in Brixham Cave, near Torquay, arid in the 

 ossiferous caves in Glamorganshire, from which latter 

 no less than a thousand reindeer antlers were extracted, 

 several hundred more being estimated to remain there. 

 Professor Owenf records their occurrence in a cavern in 

 Devonshire, also in a peat moss in Norfolk, and probable 

 specimens in a marl-pit in Forfarshire. Others have 

 recently been dredged from the bed of the Thames. 



In the West of England, Mr. Boyd Dawkins and 

 Mr. Ayshford Sanford detected two varieties of fossil 

 reindeer in the Pleistocene caverns of the Men dip Hills : 

 one very large (query, Caribou?) the other very small, 

 and corresponding with the extreme variety of C. 

 tarandus the Cervus guettardi of Cuvier. 



In Ireland reindeer remains were found with those 

 of mammoth, cave-bear, and brown-bear, in a cave near 

 Dungarven. Professor Oldham records, as quoted by
