We must bear in mind, that in boring it is not always easy to be 
certain of the exact character of the beds to a few inches, as the 
niaterial gets mixed up to some extent in the boring tools.

PART II.—CARNIVORA. 
On THE OccURRENCE OF THE Guurron, Gulo luscus, Linn., In THE “ Forzst 
Bep ”’ or Munpesiey, Norroux.? 
N some notes communicated to the GworocrcaL Macazine last 
April (p. 152), attention was called to the fact that remains of the 
Glutton had been recently obtained from the “Forest Bed.” So 
much interest is attached to the discovery of an animal, which at the 
present day is restricted to the cold northern regions, alone with 
Elephant and other remains, which seem to indicate a warm climate, 
that it has been thought desirable to give some account of the dis- 
covery. I am indebted to Mr. R. Fitch, of Norwich, to whom the 
Specimen belongs, for his courtesy in submitting it to me for ex- 
amination. It is a portion of a lower jaw with teeth, of a Glutton, 
Gulo luscus, Linn., a genus which, although known to occur in the 
fossil state, has hitherto only been obtained from Cave deposits. 
The occurrence of the Glutton in Britain was first intimated by 
MM. Boyd Dawkins and Sanford in the year 1866 (Pal. Soc.), but 
it was not until 1871 (Q.J.G.S. vol. xxvii. p. 406) that the former 
gentleman described the lower jaw of this species, which had been 
obtained by MM. Hughes and Heaton from the cave at Plas Heaton. 
__' This greyness may. have been due to the intermixture of sand lying in perforations 
in the top of the Chalk.
