566 FOSSILS FROM FOLKESTONE. 



No. 10 is a basal fragment off the beam of the right antler of the 

 Irish Elk, a shed specimen. The cicatrix of the shed surface is smooth 

 and distinctly marked ; the brow-antler had been broken off before 

 embedding, but the fractured surface obscured by matrix is visible. 

 The upper extremity of the fragment is rough and unequal, showing 

 that it also had been fractured before embedding. 



Dimensions. — Extreme length of specimen, abotit 8 - in. Girth at bur, 12- in. 

 Girth of shaft above brow-antler, 9- in. 



The basal surface shows the usual oblique insertion characteristic of 

 the species. 



No. 11. Rhinoceros. — Fragment comprising the inferior half of the 

 right humerus, broken off a little above the constriction; unfortunately 

 the tuberosity above the outer articular surface has been broken off, 

 preventing a close comparison with a corresponding specimen of 

 R. tichorhinus from Lawford, near Rugby, belonging to the series 

 described by Dr. Buckland in the ' Reliquiae Diluvianas.' 



The following are the dimensions compared with that specimen : — 



Transverse diameter of articulating surface, outer side, 

 near middle ........ 



Antero-posterior diameter of larger articulating division 

 Girth of shaft at constricted portion .... 



Extreme length of fragment ...... 



The lower articular surface is completely united to the shaft, proving 

 that the animal was adult, and the size and form of the specimen, so fin- 

 as a comparison can be instituted, differs so decidedly from that of 

 Rhinoceros tichorhinus that it probably belongs to another species, 

 which may be R. hemitcechus, as I found in Mr. Mackie's collection at 

 Folkestone, from corresponding excavations there, a singularly perfect 

 last true upper molar of R. hemitachus. 



No. 12. — The corresponding part of the left humerus subsequently 

 found, but minus the articular head. It agrees exactly in size with the 

 other half. 



No. 13 is a fragment of the shaft of the femur comprising the middle 

 portion immediately above the condyles, the expanded part of the third 

 tuberosity, and on the inner side the rough portion immediately below 

 the articular head ; both articulations are unfortunately wanting, and 

 the hooked terminal part of the third trochanter is also broken off. 

 There are, therefore, no decisive characters left to determine the species 

 with certainty, but in all its proportions, and, in general form, it differs 

 from the corresponding parts of Rltinoceros tichorhinus. The muscular 

 ridges and depressions are in very bold relief, proving that the animal 

 must have been very old. The dimensions are : — 



Length of fragment, IT in. Girth at constricted portion of shaft below third 

 trochanter, 8-75 in. 



Nos. 14, 15, 16, 17. Eleplias. — Species unknown; three fragments 

 of a large scapula of an Elephant, very much mutilated. The proximal 

 fragment exhibits a portion of the glenoid surface ; but there is nothing 

 to show what the species was, whether E. primigenius or E. antiquus, 

 both of which I found to occur in the Folkestone depc sit by Mr.
