﻿4 PLEISTOCENE MAMMALIA. 



Burrington Combe, Somerset (Dawkins, 1 1864, wolf, fox), are of Prehistoric, not 

 Pleistocene remains. 



More recent are Newton's 2 account (1894) of the fauna of the Ightham fissure 

 near Maidstone, in which the Arctic fox was again met with, and Newton and 

 Arnold Bemrose's 3 account (1905) of the Hoe Grange Cave, Derbyshire, where 

 scanty remains of the wolf and common fox were found. 



More comprehensive records are those of Falconer 4 (1868), who showed that 

 bones of both wolf and fox had been recognised in all eight of the Gower caves, 

 and Dawkins 5 (1869), who, in his well-known paper on the ' Distribution of the 

 British Post-Glacial Mammals,' gives a long list of localities for canine bones. 



Much additional information with regard to both the Pleistocene and Pre- 

 historic Canidse is contained in Dawkins and San ford's introduction to their 

 Memoirs on the British Pleistocene Mammalia (Palasontographical Society, 1866). 

 Harting's ' Extinct British Animals,' published in 1880, though chiefly concerned 

 with the wolf during the historic period, has some account of its occurrence in 

 Britain in Pleistocene and Prehistoric times, and adds some further localities 6 to 

 Dawkins' list. Pennington's ' Notes on the Barrows and Bone Caves of Derby- 

 shire ' (1877), though treating the subject in a more or less popular fashion, contains 

 some further information. 



During the middle and latter part of the last century, too, the question of the 

 mutual relationship of the Canidge was not left unconsidered, being discussed by 

 Rutimeyer 7 (1862), Jeitteles 8 (1872 and 1877), and Bourguignat 9 (1875), while 

 more recently the subject has been taken up by Huxley 10 (1880), Woldrich 11 (1881 

 and 1886), Lydekker 12 (1884), von Pelzeln 13 (1886), Wilckens 14 (1886), Nehring 15 

 (1888), Boule 16 (1889), Vieira 17 (1894), Gaudry and Boule 18 (1892), Studer 19 (1902)
