E. T. Newton—Pre-Glacial Mammalia. 451 
Cervus Gunnii, Dawkins, MS.—This name has been proposed by 
eof. Boyd Dawkins for a portion of an antler in the King Collection, 
which resembles, so far as preserved, the antler of Cervus megaceros, 
but without any brow-tyne. I should have preferred to regard this, 
provisionally, as belonging to C. megaceros, but, as the name has 
more than once appeared in print, it is thought best to retain it. 
It is from the “ Forest Bed” of Mundesley. 
Cervus latifrons, Johnson.—Mr. Randal Johnson has proposed this 
name for a remarkable antler in his collection (Ann. and Mag. Nat. 
Hist. ser. iv. vol. xiii. 1874). The broad frontal bone, from which 
the antler springs almost at right angles, the absence of a brow- 
tyne, and the presence of a large curved tyne on the front of the 
beam at about 12 inches from the burr, are the more important 
characteristics of the species. It was obtained from the ‘“ Forest 
Bed” exposed at low water at Hasboro. 
Cervus megaceros ? Hart.—This species is included as a “ Forest 
Bed” form by almost all writers on the subject. Notwithstanding 
this, I have been unable to find any undoubted specimen from this 
horizon. The antler now called C. Gunnii seems to have been 
regarded as possibly a young C. megaceros by Dr. Faleoner; but I 
am disposed to think that the name must have rested upon the 
dredged specimen referred to by Prof. Owen, and upon others now 
called C. verticornis. I am unable at present to say definitely 
whether the species does or does not occur in the ‘‘ Forest Bed.” 
Cervus Polignacus, Robert.—Dr. Falconer, in 1863, referred a 
specimen in Mr. Gunn’s Collection to this species (vide Pal. Mems. 
vol. ii. p. 479). So far as preserved it agrees with M. Robert’s de- 
scription ; the brow-tyne being almost in a line with the beam. Mr. 
Gunn’s specimen was obtained from the “ Forest Bed” at Mundesley. 
Cervus Sedgwickii, Falconer.—The remarkable antler in Mr. Gunn’s 
Collection, which was described by Dr. Falconer under this name 
(Pal. Mems. vol. ii. p. 471), is so well distinguished by its flattened 
form, and by its tynes being only on one side of the beam, that it 
will merely be necessary to add, that it was obtained from. the 
“ Forest Bed” at Bacton. 
Cervus verticornis, Dawkins.—The portion of an antler which Dr. 
Falconer called “Mr. Gunn’s large Strongyloceros” (Pal. Mems. 
vol. ii. p. 479) was redescribed by Prof. Boyd Dawkins as C. verti- 
cornis (Q.J.G.S. 1872, vol. xxviii. p. 405), but he included with it a 
small antler in the King Collection, which it is now proposed to 
separate as a distinct species (vide ('. Dawkinsi). The larger speci- 
men, and many others more recently obtained, which may for the 
present be included in the same species, are evidently closely allied 
to the Megaceros type, but are characterized by the large round 
brow-tyne, given off from the inner and upper part of the beam quite 
in a different plane to the second tyne, some distance from the burr, 
and curving forwards and downwards until it assumes the vertical 
direction on account of which the species was named C. verticornis. 
Specimens answering to this description have been obtained from 
the “Forest Bed” at Pakefield, Overstrand near Cromer, and Mr. 
Savin has one from the Black Bed at West Runton.
