land, Cumberland, and Westmoreland. In the North Riding of Yorkshire its teeth have 
been obtained from the bone-cave of Kirby-Moorside,’ along with the remains of the Cave 
Hyena and Wolf. ‘T'wo canines and a metacarpal also were found by Dr. Buckland in the 
Hyena-den of Kirkdale,” as well as a caleaneum that is now in the York Museum, 
associated with relics of the leptorhine Rhinoceros of Owen, the Mammoth, Bison, Rein- 
deer, and others. In the river-deposit also of Bielbecks a very fine series of animals, 
consisting of Ursus, Bison, Wolf, and Cave Lion, were disinterred by the Rev. W. 
Vernon, F.R.S., in 1829, the leonine remains being a fragment of maxillary, both 
rami of the lower jaw, the ulna, radius, femur, and metatarsals, all of which belong to 
one individual.* The numerous caves in the Mountain-limestone of Lancashire and 
Derbyshire, strange to say, have not furnished a single fragment that can be attributed 
to the Lion, although they have been diligently explored by various observers ; nor have 
the Midland Counties furnished the least trace of its existence as far south as the meridian 
of Oxford. 
In the Eastern Counties it is very rare. The Post-glacial gravels of Barnwell have 
yielded a lower jaw that is preserved in the Natural History Collection at Cambridge, 
and a femur that is now in the British Museum. In Suffolk its remains have been found 
in the gravel-bed pierced by the tunnel at Ipswich, along with those of the Roedeer, 
Bison, Irish Elk, tichorhine Rhinoceros, Mammoth, Grizzly Bear, and others.* In North 
Essex the energetic collector Mr. John Brown, of Stanway, obtained a humerus from 
Clacton, now in the British Museum, and some other remains which Professor Owen 
quotes from Walton.’ 
The River-deposits of the great valley of the Thames have furnished its remains in 
comparative abundance. Its teeth occur at Hurley Bottom,® in Berkshire, along with 
the bones of the tichorhine Rhinoceros and Hippopotamus major. The great sheet of 
gravel, also, on which London stands, has yielded several isolated teeth to various 
collectors. From the great brick-pit at Ilford, on the north side of the Thames, one 
metacarpal has been obtained by Dr. Cotton, and two rami respectively by Mr. Antonio 
Brady and Mr. R. D. Darbishire, along with the remains of MWephas antiquus, Mammoth, 
Red-deer, Beaver, and other mammals. In the corresponding sheet of brickearth on the 
opposite side of the river, extending from Erith to Crayford, a lower jaw and an os inno- 
minatum’ (PI. III, fig. 1) were found by Mr. Swayne; a canine, two lower jaws (PI. I, 
fig. 3), a humerus, metacarpal, metatarsal, and a phalange, by Dr. Spurrell; a gigantic 
canine by Professor Morris; and a lower jaw by Mr. Grantham. In the same county
