16 PLEISTOCENE MAMMALIA. 



The Range of Cervus Savini. — The antlers and skulls of C. Savini have up to the 

 present time only been discovered in the Forest-bed series, at East and West Runton, 

 Cromer, Sidestrand, Overstrand, Trimingham, Hasborough, Mundesley, and Corton, in 

 Norfolk, and at Pakefield and Kessingland, in Suffolk, in one or other of the local varieties 

 of the Forest-bed series. According to our present knowledge, it is an ancient type of 

 Fallow-deer living in the preglacial forests of the valley of the North Sea, before the Cervus 

 Broivni or the Cervus dama had appeared in Britain. 



From these facts it may be concluded that Cervus Savini is the ancestral form of both 

 C. Broiviti and C. dama.
