GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE FALLOW DEER. 83 
Deer in the caves and bogs, as well as in the diluvial fresh-water 
chalk of Wurtemburg. He further states that in the Museum of 
Mannheim there are skulls not only of Bos primigenius, but also 
of B. priscus and its ally B. priscus affinis, with a skull of Cervus 
dama giganteus, all found in the diluvium in the neighbourhood 
of Mannheim. 
In the Museum at Linz, in Upper Austria, numerous remains of 
animals from the diluvium in the neighbourhood of Wels are 
preserved, which were discovered at no great distance in cutting 
the railway known as the Elizabeth-Westbahn in Buchberg. 
Besides a fractured piece of the horn of a Red Deer, a molar of 
Ursus arctos (not U. speleus), a fine molar of the Mammoth (Elephas 
primigenius) and horses’ teeth, there is in the Museum—amongst 
those remains marked as found in the above-mentioned railway 
cutting—a fine large fragment of horn undoubtedly belonging to 
a Fallow Deer. Like the fragment of horn of Cervus elaphus 
from the same locality, it is of a white colour and has a calcined 
appearance. In 1870 and again in 1873 J examined this interesting 
fragment of horn, with the other animal remains found at the same 
time, and am indebted to the kindness of Herr Kaiserl Ehrlich, the 
Curator of the Museum, for a photograph of it. In October, 1873, 
I also inspected the cutting at Buchberg, and convinced myself of 
the purely diluvial nature of the soil there. In many places I found 
it deeply excavated for gravel (schodler), and it seems clear that 
the horns and teeth preserved in the Museum at Linz were found 
in one of these gravel-pits, but lying in a stratum of marl (merge- 
ligen) beneath the gravel. 
Fragments of horn undoubtedly belonging to the Fallow Deer 
were dug ont by Dr. F. A. Wagner in the autumn of 1828, in the 
ash-heap (aschenschicht) of a so-called place of sacrifice (opfer- 
herdes) between Schlieben and the village of Malitzschkendorf, in 
Schweinitz, Saxony, in large quantities, together with remains of 
the Elk (among them a four-tined elk-horn), the teeth of mighty 
boars, and remains of very large oxen, roe-deer, and sheep, as 
well as wheat and millet. A detailed account of these discoveries 
is given in his work.* Dr. Wagner (a physician at Schlieben) 
prosecuted his researches with the greatest conscientiousness and 
determined the animal remains in question with great care and
