UNGULATA. 23 



Genus ANTILOPE, Pallas. 

 PLATE III., Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5. 



There are in. the Museum of Practical Geology three large 

 molar teeth from the Red Crag Nodule-bed, an upper and a 

 lower from Woodbridge, and a last lower from Sutton, which I 

 am unable at present to determine generically. In size these 

 teeth agree with those of a large Ox, but the crowns are shorter 

 than in any Bos or Bison, in the same stage of wear, with which I 

 have been able to compare them. The upper tooth (Plate III., 

 fig. 2) has an inner pillar which stands separate and would remain 

 so until the tooth was worn nearly to its base. This pillar is 

 about three-fourths of an inch high and is only just beginning to 

 wear. In the lower tooth (fig. 3) the inner pillar is more closely 

 pressed into the median groove of the tooth, much more slender, 

 about five-eighths of an inch high, and has not yet come into 

 wear. These teeth cannot be referred to Cervus or Alces, both 

 of which occur in the Pliocene, the crowns being too high and 

 the inner pillar too strongly developed. It seems most probable 

 that they belonged to some large Antelopine genus and provi- 

 sionally they are called Antilope. 



It will be convenient to notice here a small lower cheek tooth 

 (Plate IIL, fig. 5) of a ruminant, from the Nodule-bed of the Red 

 Crag of Boyton, in the Museum of Practical Geology ; this has 

 the crown much too long for Cervus, and in fact must have 

 belonged to some <e cavicorn " ruminant about the size of a sheep, 

 goat, or small antelope ; it might have belonged to such a form as 

 the Gazella anglica, which occurs in the Norwich Crag, but with- 

 out better evidence one can scarcely suggest the occurrence of that 

 species in the Red Crag. 



Genus GAZELLA, Blainville. 



GAZELLA ANGLICA, NEWTON.

The above name was proposed for a horn -core and frontal bone 

 in the Museum of Practical Geology, which was obtained by 

 Mr. H. B. Woodward from the Norwich Crag of Thorpe, and 

 described before the Geological Society (Quart. Journ. Geol. 

 Soc., Vol. XL., p. 280, 1884). Two other similar specimens 

 were noticed at the same time and referred to the same species ; 

 one of these, also from the Norwich Crag of Thorpe, was pre- 

 sented to the Museum of Practical Geology by Dr. A. King, 

 and the other was in the British Museum, S. Kensington, labelled 

 " Norwich Crag, Norfolk, Wigham Collection." There is another 

 similar example from the same horizon at Horstead, in the 

 Randal Johnson Collection, preserved in Mr. J. J. Colman's 

 Museum at Corton, near Lowestoft ; and the British Museum 

 has a tibia which may belong to this species.
