OF the former existence of a species of Deer, about the 

 size of the Rein-deer, but differing from all known existing 

 species in Europe, the fossil fragment of the antler above 

 figured affords good evidence. Dr. Buckland, who gave 

 the first description and figure of this specimen, which is 

 from the cave of Kirkdale, especially distinguishes it from 

 the rest as " having the lowest antler at the distance of 

 three inches and a half from the lower extremity, or base, 

 the circumference of which is eight inches."
