and handiwork in another. I have also introduced certain other 

 species (those whose names are enclosed in square brackets) whose 

 remains are not found with man, but in a somewhat older set of 

 deposits, containing, however, some of the animals common to the 

 Pre-historic epoch. Those names of species not enclosed in square 

 brackets, are again divisible into — I. Animals known to man, but now 

 extinct. II. Animals whose geographical distribution has been changed. 

 III. Animals which have been exterminated by man ; and, IV. Animals 

 still indigenous to Britain and the neighbouring continent.
