478 CERVUS. 



c. Cervus Guettardi (Desmarest). ' A complete series of eighteen or 

 nineteen specimens of different ages, all limited to basal portion of 

 antler. They agree exactly with the specimens originally figured and 

 described by Guettard, and reproduced by Cuvier in the " Ossemens 

 Foss." Cerfs, PI. VI. figs. 14 to 17. They differ entirely from figs. 10, 

 11, and 12 of the same Plate, which Cuvier conjectured might belong 

 to a different age of the same species. As this is the form of antler that 

 was originally described by Guettard, it is but right that the specific 

 name of Cervus Guettardi should be restricted to it.' 



d. Cervus prisons ? Two antlers which agree exactly in form with 

 figs. 1 1 and 12 of Plate VII. Cerfs, of the ' Ossemens Foss.' from Etampes, 

 found along with C. Guettardi. 



e. Cervus Bucklandi ? One specimen comprising the basal part of 

 the horn, bur, and offset of bez-antler. 



f. Cervus Elaphus. Antlers. 



g. Cervus Capreolus. Several small specimens, some of them bearing 

 knife marks. 



h. Indications of two other species not identified. 



2. April, 1859. — In Signor Ceselli's Museum at Rome, examined 

 numerous antlers of Cervidce. One fine specimen appears to belong to 

 C. intermedins, ' but saw nothing in the least degree approaching Rein- 

 deer.' 



3. May 14, 1859. — ' In the Museum at Bologna is a very interesting 

 skull of Irish Elk from the Val di Chiana, comprising the cranial portion 

 with part of both horns, showing the cylindrical beam, the stumps of 

 brow- and median antlers, and the palmate expansion on the left side.' 



4. May 27, 1859. — ' Saw in Massolongo's collection at Verona the 

 lower half of the horn, from bur to commencement of palmation, of the 

 Italian form of the Irish Elk, exactly like the Val di Chiana specimen 

 in the Bologna Museum, also a portion of the cranium noted in the 

 Catalogue as being " Corno gignnteo e pezzo di cranio di Cervo fossile 

 raccolto nei terreni del Veronese." ' 



5. 'September 27, 1862. — In Mr. Grantham's collection at Erith, a 

 typical specimen of a shed antler of Cervus Elaphus, and a fine speci- 

 men of an antler nearly to fit Strongyloceros spelams. 



6. September 30, 1862. — In Dr. Spurrell's collection at Belvedere, 

 numerous specimens of Cervus Elaphus, one nearly big enough to pass 

 muster for Strongyloceros spelasus : a very doubtful fragment of Rein- 

 deer antler (probably C. Elaphus) ; but no other indication of Rein-deer, 

 or of any other species of Cervus. 



7. July 20, 1863.— In Mr. Wyatt's collection at Bedford, shed antlers 

 of Cervus Elaphus, from Summerhouse Hill ; and antlers of Cervus 

 Tarandus, from Howard's Field, Bedford, and from the Gravel, Bleston. 



8. August 13, 1863. — In Mr. Prertwich's collection from railway- 

 cuttings at Bedford, remains of Cervus eurycerus, or Irish Elk ; Cervus 

 Elaphus; and Cervus Tarandus, or Eeindeer. 



9. September 8, 1863. — In Brown's Clacton collection in the British 

 Museum is a very extensive series of Deer horns, nearly all belonging to 

 one species. They are all terete, with a single brow-antler given off 

 very low, as in the Val d'Arno Axis, but a little lower and pointing 

 more forwards above the brow-antler. There is generally a long reach 

 of beam with no branch. How the beam terminates is not shown. In
