28 MAMMALIA. 



Rusa by Dr. Falconer (Pal. Mem., Vol. II., p. 430, 1868). 

 C. etueriarum is found in the Pliocenes of France (Croizet & 

 Jobert, Ossem Foss., Puy-de-D6me, Cervidae, Sec. 2, Plates vi. 

 bis, and vii., 1828 ; also Deperet, Bull. Soc. Geol. France, 

 Ser. 3, Vol. XIL, p. 265, 1884), and Dr. Forsyth Major 

 (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., Vcl. XLL, p. 2, 1885) records it 

 with some doubt from the Pliocene Beds of the Val d'Arno. 



Mr. Savin possesses a nearly perfect antler (Plate IV., 

 fig. 4, a, 6), with three tynes, from the Forest-bed of East 

 Run ton, which is more slender and less curved than that in the 

 King collection, but is believed to belong to this species. 



CERVUS FALCONERI, 



PLATE IV., FIG. 7, a, b. 



This species was established by Prof. Boyd Dawkins (Quart. 

 Journ. Geol. Soc., Vol. XXIV., p. 516, 1868), for a specimen 

 in the British Museum, No. 33,507 (Cat. Foss. Mamm., Part ii., 

 p. 91, 1885), from the Norwich Crag, Norfolk. Certain basal 

 portions of antlers from the Red Crag Nodule- bed of Suffolk, one 

 of which is in the British Museum, No. 35,857, were also included 

 in the same species. 



Cervus Falconeri is nearly allied to Cervus dama and C. Brownii 

 but differs from them in having the brow tyne removed further 

 from the burr, and given off from the beam in a plane at right 

 angles to the second and third tynes. The distance between the 

 first and second tynes is less than that between the second and 

 third ; the palmation also is. much less than in C. dama. 



CERVUS FiTcmi, GUNN, MS. 



(=C. GUNNII, NEWTON). 



The late Mr. J. Gunn proposed this name for a large palmated 

 antler from the Forest-bed of Bacton, which is now in the Norwich 

 Museum, and had it lithographed, but the plate has not been 

 published. The species was noticed in the Memoir of the Geo- 

 logical Survey (Vert, Forest Bed, p. 56, 1882). Prof. Boyd 

 Dawkins (Pal. Soc. Plei?t. Mamm., p. 7, 1886), has pro- 

 posed to unite this form and C. Gunnii (Vert. Forest Bed, 

 p. 57) with C. Dawkinsi (ibid., p. 54), but for reasons given 

 under the last species, p. 26, I am unable to do this ; at the same 

 time, having again compared these forms in the light of Prof. 

 Boyd Dawkins' Memoir, I think it will be desirable to unite 

 C. Gunnii with the present species, and should include also Mr.
