(PLATE XXIII, Figs. 4, 5.) 



IN 1906 I described^ a horn-core of a small antelope wMch had been 

 obtained long ago from the Norwich Crag of Bramerton, and which 

 is now in the collection of Mr. A. S. Kennard. This specimen 

 formerly formed part of the Bayfield collection, and Mr. "William 

 Davies had determined it as a horn- core of Capra or Antelope. 

 A comparison showed that it was referable to the genus Gazella, but 

 that it differed from Gazella anglica, a species from the Norwich Crag 

 described by Mr. E. T. Newton,- as well as from all the other living 

 and fossil Gazelles respecting which I could obtain information. 

 I therefore ventured to found a new species,. G. Baviesii, for the 

 reception of Mr. Kennard' s specimen. 



Unfortunately it was not in my power to give a figure of this 

 horn-core, and the bare description could be of little value. Thanks to 

 the kindness of Dr. Henry Woodward, an opportunity has been given 

 to remedy this defect, and in the accompanying Plate (PI. XXIII, 

 Figs. 4, 5) the specimen, a right frontal and horn-core, is shown from 

 the front and from the outer side. Compared with G. anglica, the 

 principal differences presented by the fossil here figured are the much 

 smaller size, the relatively and absolutely longer pedicle, and the 

 rounder and less compressed horn-core, which has a slight outward 

 curvature instead of being perfectly straight. The pit behind the 

 pedicle on the outer side, so far as it is preserved, appears to have been 

 much shallower than in G. anglica. 



In my earlier paper mention is made of a much rolled and damaged 

 horn-core obtained by Mr. H. B. Woodward from the Norwich Crag 

 of Thorpe and now in the Geological Survey collection, and I stated 

 that^ "it certainly is not referable to G. anglica, and in my opinion 

 represents a species distinct from that which I have here named 

 G. Baviesii.''^ By some chance I had overlooked Mr. Newton's 

 reference to this specimen.* He had' already stated that it was 

 distinct from G. anglica, and suggested that it might belong to some 

 other genus of Antelope and not to Gazella.

A CRITIC of my paper on " The Winding of Rivers " ^ writes to me 

 XJL that I and others " do not take into account the nature of the 

 soil traversed by a stream," which " must materially affect its course." 

 Let me call attention to the two figures (117 and 118) on p. 499,
