manner depicted by the artist in the restored outline ; and makes 

 the resemblance between this and figure 4 seem greater than it 

 really is. Figure 5, on the same plate, gives some idea of the 

 compression of the brow-tyne at its base. I have examined a 

 large number of specimens of this species, probably nearly all 

 that have been found, and they are remarkably uniform in cha- 

 racter, especially as regards the flattened form of the brow-tyne, 

 even in examples differing much in size ; and I cannot therefore 

 satisfy myself that the specimens represented by figures 2 and 4 

 of Prof. Dawkins' Memoir should be included in the same species. 

 At present Cervus Savini is only known from the Forest- 

 bed of Norfolk and Suffolk. 



CERVUS SEDGWICKII, FALCONER. 



The complex antlers to which Dr. Falconer gave the name of 

 Cervus Scdgwickii (Pal. Mem., Vol. II., p. 472, Plate 37, 1868) 

 have only been found in the Forest-bed in Britain (Mem. 

 Geol. Surv., Vert. Forest Bed, p. 60, 1882), but the same form, 

 apparently, occurs in the Pliocene beds of Italy, and has there 

 been called C. dicranios (Nesti, MS. Riitimeyer, Abh. schweiz. 

 pal. Qes., Vol. VIIL, 1880). 



CERVUS SUTTONENSIS, DAWKINS. 

 PLATE IV., FIG. 13. 



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

 Journ. Geol. Soc., Vol. XXXVI., p. 411, 1878) for the reception 

 of certain portions of antlers found in the Crag of Norfolk and 

 Suffolk, in which " The base of the antler is cylindrical, and the 

 burr is very strongly marked and circumscribed, the base in 

 a plane oblique to the axis of the beam, which is traversed 

 by clearly defined deep groove?. These, however, are very 

 generally worn away by the action of water. The beam runs 

 straight away from the burr, and is cylindrical, except at the 

 point, where the brow-tyne springs immediately above the 

 base. At that point there is a smooth triangular area, slightly 

 convex or flat on the superior surface and slightly concave on 

 the inferior, and which is free from the grooves which occur on 

 the rest of the antler. The brow-tyne is slightly oval in section, 

 and forms an acute angle with the beam, as in 



Axis and Rum, and is very much smaller in every dimension." 



A large specimen, 8J inches long (Plate IV., fig. 13) in the 

 York Museum, from the Red Crag Nodule-bed, which doubtless 

 belongs to this species, has the beam rather more curved than in 

 the type specimen.
