450 E. T. Newton—Pre- Glacial Mammalia. 
springing from the side of the skull nearly at right angles to it, and 
eurving downwards, slightly decreases In size, thus giving it a very 
bovine aspect. 
Cervus capreolus, Linn.—I have only been able to trace one 
specimen of this species; it is a nearly perfect antler preserved in 
the King Collection (M.P.G.). There is no doubt as to this belong- 
ing to C. capreolus, and it is labelled as having been obtained from 
the Forest Bed at Hasboro, low-water. 
Cervus’ carnutorum ? Laugel.—Professor Boyd Dawkins, in 1872 
(Q.J.G.S. vol. xxviii. p. 408), described certain cervine remaims from 
Norfolk and Suffolk, which he referred to the C. carnutorum of M. 
Langel. These specimens were two frontlets, and a base of an antler, 
and I think there is little doubt Professor Dawkins is correct in his 
determination; but as regards the horizon from which they were 
obtained there is some uncertainty; the one from the Norfolk 
«Oyster Beds” is of necessity not to be depended upon; and the 
other specimen, which is in the Chichester Museum, is said to have 
been obtained from the Forest Bed at Easton, Suffolk, at which 
locality my colleague, Mr. J. H. Blake, informs me it is, to say the 
least, extremely doubtful whether the true “ Forest Bed ” occurs. 
Cervus Dawkinsi, n. sp.—This name is proposed for the smaller 
specimen figured by Professor Boyd Dawkins as C. veriicornis; but 
which, on account of the flattened form of the brow-tyne, its close 
approximation to the burr, and its being given off in quite a different 
plane from that of C. verticornis, it is thought necessary to separate 
from that species. C. Dawkinsi in general appearance has much 
affinity with C. Fitchii, Gunn, MS., but is distinguished from that 
species by the presence of a brow-tyne close to the burr, and passing 
off in the same plane as the second tyne. This specimen is in the 
King Collection in the Museum of Practical Geology. 
Cervus elaphus? Linn.—It is very uncertain as to whether this 
species has ever been obtained from the “Forest Bed.” Dr. Falconer 
did not recognize it, and although it has been very generally included 
in lists of ‘Forest Bed” species, J have been unable to trace any 
undoubted specimen from this horizon. It is just possible that some 
basal portions of antlers which have been found may belong to this 
species, and therefore it seems best to retain the name with some doubt. 
Cervus etueriarum ? Croizet and Jobert.—Dr. Falconer, in his Pal. 
Mems. p. 479, refers a portion of an antler in the King Collection 
to the genus Rusa. This specimen very closely resembles the 
examples of C. etweriarum, Croizet and Jobert; and C. cylindroceros, 
Dawkins, which are preserved in the British Museum, but is rather 
Jarger and more curved than either; on the whole, it is most like 
the C. etueriarum, to which it is proposed to refer it provisionally. 
Cervus Fitch, Gunn, MS.— Mr. Gunn has kindly sent me ‘an 
engraving of an antler in Mr. R. Fitch’s Collection, which he is 
about to describe under the above name. It is evidently related to 
the Megaceros type. and closely resembles the form above called 
C. Dawkinsi, but it has no brow-tyne close to the burr and in the 
same plane as the second tyne, such as is found in the latter species,
