414 ANIMAL REMAINS FOUND AT CISSBURY. 



of Bos primigenius, which was so abundantly represented there. 

 From the fauna of the ' skeleton pit' (see page 376, 1. c., Journal), 

 to be hereinafter described, that of the ' large pit ' does not differ 

 in any particulars which would justify us in thinking that the 

 two pits belonged to different epochs ; and here again the evi- 

 dence from the animal remains coincides with that from other lines 

 of investigation. 



List of hones from ' Large Pit.' 



Bos longifrons. — Part of left upper jaw with the two last molars 

 in situ, labelled ' From large pit.' Part of palate, labelled ' From 

 23 feet below, beneath upper margin.' One lower jaw and nine 

 upper jaw molars. End of radius 3 feet below the surface. Glenoid 

 of scapula 6 feet. End of radius 20 feet beneath upper margin. 

 Fragment of scapula $$ feet below upper margin. Part of right 

 upper jaw of a calf with one tooth of large size in alveolus not 

 through gum, and a second small tooth still in substance of jaw. 



Bos primigenius. — A single nasal bone. 



Sus scrofa v. clomesticus. — Os calcis ' from red seam.' Left ulna 

 labelled. ' large pit.' Right ulna, similarly labelled, and probably 

 from same individual. Femur of young individual. Fragment of 

 lower jaw of an older individual. 



Cervus capreolus. — Horn with part of frontal, ^ feet beneath 

 upper margin ; seventh cervical vertebra. 



Cervus elaphus. — Part of radius of young specimen. 



Capra hircus.— A considerable part of the skull with both horns, 

 labelled ' Bed seam/ 9 feet 6 inches below the surface. 



These bones afford proof of the presence in this pit of two in- 

 dividuals of Bos longifrons and Sus scrofa v. dom., one only of Cervus 

 capreolus, Capra hircus, and Cervus elaphus, though the horns speak 

 to the presence of many more. 



A number of molar teeth of the horse, Equus caballus, have also 

 come into my hands, labelled ( Large pit, superficial,' and the 

 addition of this last word is significant when we add that it is 

 applicable to all the remains of the horse found at Cissbury, and 

 that considering the large size and durability of the bones of 

 this animal we have some justification for holding that if the first 

 excavators of the shafts and galleries had domesticated it we should 

 have come upon some osteological evidence of their success. As
