Pre-Historio Mammalia Associated loith Man. 407 



animals, and some are gnawed by dogs, wolves, or foxes. The 

 Heatheryburn cave, in Yorkshire, explored by Mr. John 

 Elliot in 1862,* yielded, besides the remains of man, those of 

 the otter, badger, goat, roe-deer, hog, and water-rat. 



In the following table I have arranged the animals found 

 associated with man with those found in the most modern of 

 all the stratified deposits, the peat and alluvium, classing with 

 the latter all those animals now living in Britain which have 

 been found in pleistocene deposits, and which also must have 

 lived, therefore, in the pre-historic period. I have also added 

 a list of the animals living in Britain while it was a .Roman 

 colony and those alive now.
