It possessed the brow, bay, and tray points, but the points at 

 the summit of the beam were broken off, so that neither their 

 number nor the full length of the antler could be ascertained. 

 The brow point was 1 inches long in a straight line, and the 

 circumference of the beam between it and the burr was 1\ 

 inches. The bay point immediately above the brow point 

 possessed the peculiarity of having had the free end broken 

 across and subsequently repaired by bony union ; the frac- 

 ture and subsequent repair must of course have occurred 

 when the antler was covered by velvet and before the 

 atrophy of the blood-vessels. The humerus was of the right 

 limb, and measured 9 inches from the head to the radial 

 articular surface, and 2 inches across the condyloid end. 



The cetacean bones consisted of two vertebrae. One, the 

 larger, was the caudal vertebra of a finner whale, probably 

 the Baloenoytera WAisculm. The spine and transverse pro- 

 cesses were so much broken that the full dimensions of the 

 bone could not be obtained. The dimensions of the body 

 were, however, taken : antero-posterior diameter, 8 in. ; trans- 

 verse diameter, 6 J in. ; vertical diameter, 5^ in. The bone 

 was from an adult whale, as the epiphysial plates were com- 

 pletely fused with the body. The smaller vertebra was a 

 lumbar from one of the toothed whales, probably a Glohio- 

 ccphahcs. The ends of the spine and transverse processes 

 were broken off, the body also was injured, and the bone had 

 the appearance of having been rolled about amongst the 

 gravel. The following measurements are only approxi- 

 mative : height of the entire bone, 10 in. ; between transverse 

 processes, 11 in. ; antero-posterior diameter of body, 4 in. ; 

 height of body, 3 in. ; transverse diameter of body, 3 J in. 



One skull of the Bos primigenius, viz., that from the dock 

 excavation, consisted of the perfect horn cores, and tlie 

 intermediate part of the cranium. The horn cores had the 

 characteristic form belonging to this ox. The distance 

 between their tips was 27 in. ; the breadth between their 

 most projecting convexity, 35^ in. ; greatest breadth be- 

 tween their roots across the frontal bone, 12 in.; breadth 

 of the supra-occipital ridge, 7 in. ; girth of the base of 

 the horn core, 12 ^ in. The other skull from the gas- work
