The most ancient (six in number, mai'ked *') are tlie Cave-bear and 

 Lion ; the Hyasna ; Great Ox ; the Mammoth, and the tichorhine 

 Ehinoceros. To these may be added (marked -jr) the Lynx, the Arctic 

 Fox ; the Reindeer ; the Elk ; the Lemming and the Saiga Antek:>pe, 

 all living now in Europe or Asia. In analysing the list of animals, 

 it must be borne in mind that the interest attaching to tliese remains 

 is greatly modified by the fact of their geographical position on the 

 continent. Had the same animals been met with in England, they 

 would have invoked a far higher interest than in Silesia, where in 

 adjacent countries many of them still survive, whereas with us most 

 of them have been exterminated in prehistoric times. 



The twelve lithographic plates of Implements and Bones are well 

 executed. The frontispiece is a photograph of a huge skull of the 

 Cave Bear from Gizoff.

THE main portion of this volume contains a description of the 

 geological structure of the Libyan desert, based on the observa- 

 tions made by the author, who acted as geologist to the Expedition 

 which, under the leadership of Gerhard Rohlfs, traversed this district 

 in the winter of 1873-4. The author, however, has not limited his
