20. On the OccURRENCE of ANTELOPE REMAINS in NEWER PLIOCENE 
Bens in Brirar, with the Description of a NEw Spectss, Gazella 
anglica. By HE. T. Newron, Esq., F.G.S. (Read March 9,

[Prats XIV.] 
Iv the year 1878 Mr. H. B. Woodward, of the Geological Survey, 
obtained from the Norwich Crag at Thorpe, near Norwich, a 
fragment of a horn-core closely resembling the corresponding part 
of a Goat; and although the genus was not known to occur in beds 
of undoubted Pliocene or Pleistocene age in Britain, I felt justified 
in calling attention to it by mserting “ Capra?” in the list of 
Mammals from these beds, which appeared in the Survey Memoir 
‘On the Country around Norwich’ (1881), p. 55. More recently 
my colleague has been fortunate enough to get another and much 
more perfect horn-core from the same place. As will be seen from 
the description given below, there can be no question as to the close 
relationship of this specimen to the Antelopes, and more especially 
to the Gazelles; but it is not certain that the first-found of these 
horn-cores belongs to the same genus as the second ; indeed, the 
slight impressions of the brain convolutions, which are traceable 
on the inner wall of the frontal bone, seem to indicate a greater 
complexity of these parts than is found in the second specimen. 
However, seeing that we now have undoubted evidence of an Anti- 
_lopine form occurring in these deposits, it will perhaps be better to 
refer the less perfect specimen to the Antilopide, and not to the 
genus Capra. 
The second and more perfect specimen (Pl. XIV. fig. 1) consists 
of a right horn-core with its frontal bone and a fragment of the 
parietal bone still attached. The frontal suture is perfectly pre- 
served, and consequently the direction and amount of divergence of 
the horn-cores can be clearly made out (fig. 2). More than half of 
the orbit remains, although its upper border is broken away. On 
the inner side the frontal bone retains very perfectly the impressions 
of the convolutions of the right anterior cerebral lobe. 
The upper part of the horn-core is broken, and in its present 
condition seems to be much tapered ; but other specimens, to be 
presently noticed, show that this is largely due to the abrasion 
which it has undergone. The horn-core is supported upon a smooth 
pedicle, which, on the inner side at its middle part, has a height of 
about 10 millims. The core itself is rugose, and, being at its base 
larger than the pedicle, forms a kind of burr. <A cross section in this 
region gives an oval outline (fig. 3), the front and back being rounded, 
without any trace of a sharp edge or keel having existed; neither 
is there any indication of twisting. Judging from the relative 
positions of the brain-cavity, orbits, and other parts, it is probable 
that the horns were held almost erect, with a slight curve backwards.
