Cranium; jaw. 

 Tusks in abundance. 



Tusks, teeth, and bones of various kinds, 

 in abundance. 



Many skulls and other bones. Some of the 

 skulls are believed to belong to the species, 

 Bos longifrons. Several are preserved in 

 the Museum of the Free Library, and it 

 would be well if some Members of the 

 Club, who have bestowed more attention 

 than the writer has done upon the charac- 

 teristics of that species, would carefully 

 examine them.*' 



Jaws. 



Jaws.

( Cervus Elaphus.) jaws and teeth. Fragments of horns, many 

 of them with marks of knives and saws.

Hoese. a few teeth.

* In the " Guide to the Euins of tlie Boman City of Uriconium," by tlie well-known 

 antiquary, Mr. Thomas Wright, it is stated that the Crania of the Bos longifrons wore 

 found during the exploration of Uriconium in 1859, "Moi-e than one bcaiing," as at 

 South Shields, " evident marks of the fatal blow of the axe on the forehead." Bemains 

 of animals of the same species are also recorded hy Mr. Eoche Smith, as having been 

 found amongst Eoman relics, at Colchester and in London, 



f It is noteworthy also that Mr. Wright also states that " Fragments of the horn of a 

 speciies allied to the Elk of Ireland," were found at Uriconium. lie gives the scientific 

 name as Strongyloceros .yyelxiis. I incline to the opinion that the fragment found at South 

 Shields holontrod to tho Cerrux megacfrnn.
