﻿62 MESSRS. ARNOLB-BEMROSE AND NEWTON ON AN [Feb. 1905, 



[Since this paper was written, Mr. R. Lydekker has kindly called 

 our attention to a most important memoir by Dr. Herluf Winge on 

 the fossil mammalia of Denmark (Yidenskabelige Meddelelser, 

 1894, p. 193), in which, at p. 263, remains of fallow-deer are 

 described and figured from Interglacial beds in Denmark. The 

 memoir is, unfortunately for us, written in Danish, but Mr. Lydekker 

 has given an account of that portion of it which deals with Cervus 

 dama, in his article on ' The Fallow-Deer in Denmark,' published 

 in 'The Field' (March 5th, 1904, p. 403), where he also gives a 

 very interesting summary of what has been written regarding the 

 northward range in Europe of the fallow-deer in past epochs. 



The presence of fallow-deer so far north as Denmark in Inter- 

 glacial times, makes it extremely likely that it extended its range 

 westward also into England. This discovery by Dr. Winge, there- 

 fore, lends considerable support to our contention that the small 

 deer-remains found at Longcliffe belonged to fallow-deer which 

 lived in that district in Pleistocene times. — January 11th, 1905.']

Fig. 1. View of the cavern, soon after we commenced the work, showing the 

 wooden door at the entrance, 27 feet north -north-west of the place 

 where the men first broke in. The rock on the left-hand side had been 

 quarried before the cavern was discovered. (From a photograph taken 

 by Mr. W. Walker, of Buxton.)

 cavern. The line between A and B corresponds to the line AB in 

 the horizontal section of the cavern PI. V, fig. 1. (From a photograph 

 taken by Mr. Arnold-Bern rose.)
