« The Marten is still not uncommon in Ireland, and individuals have been seen of 
late years in the county of Dublin. Therefore the statement of Professor Hull (Phy- 
sical Geography of Ireland, p. 272), is incorrect that it died out at the end of the 12th 
century. 
* The species marked Xx have been confirmed by Thompson, Jacob, Ball, Carte, 
Macalister, Andrews, Gulliver, More, and others. But no doubt there is some confusion 
with regard to the other species, and, as previously observed, absolutely nothing is known 
with certainty of the fossil cetacea of Ireland.
