 of April. 1 8, 1868, illustrated some remarks on its 

 discovery from the pen of Mr. W. B. Tegetmeier.

SKULL OS BOS PKIMIGEXIUS, HPESUUIE. 



In these and other instances which have been 

 recorded, the animals whose remains were found were, 

 in all probability, wild, and not domesticated. In-

 to the supposition that the Urus was domesticated in 

 Britain ju pre-historic times ; while Bos longifrons, 

 the " Celtic short-horn," as it has been termed, was.
