IN England, as on the Continent, remains of the genus 

 Equus attest that a species equalling a middle-sized Horse, 

 and one of the size of a large Ass, or Zebra, have been 

 the associates of the Mammoth, Rhinoceros, and other 

 extinct quadrupeds, whose remains are so generally dis- 

 persed in the drift formations, bone- caves, and the post- 

 pliocene tertiary deposits. Almost every geological au- 

 thor, who has had occasion to notice the Mammalian 

 fossils of these recent periods, has made mention of such 

 a combination. It has been observed by Dr. Mantell* 

 in the "Elephant-bed" at Brighton; by Mr. Cliftf in 

 the cavernous fissures at Oreston ; by Dr. Buckland J in 

 the ossiferous caves at Kirkdale, in the Mendips, and at
