SHEPPARD : NOTES ON ELEPHAS ANTIQUUS AND OTHER REMAINS. 225 
close proximity to each other. They heave all the sharp corners, etc., 
preserved, and do not shew the slightest sign of having been water- 
worn. No trace of the skull could be found ; this, being of softer 
material, having no doubt been dissolved away. 
In his account of the large tusk found here, Mr. Lamplugh 
expresses the opinion that it has not been carried far by running 
water, but has ''either been transported from a shore-line by floe ice 
or has dropped from the floating carcase of some animal," and the 
finds since made, notably the two small mammoth teeth, do not 
invalidate this statement. None of the bones yet obtained from 
this pit shew signs of having been waterworn. 
With the kind help of x¥r. H. M. Platnauer, B.Sc, F.G.S., of 
the York Museum, remains of the following animals have been 
recognised among the bones from the EUoughton gravels, from which 
it will be seen that, with the exception of Rhinoceros, I have found 
all the remains Mr. Lamplugh said he should expect to occur here, 
and others in addition : — 
TheM'dmmoth, Elep/ias primige7iius{Bhim.) Over a dozen teeth, mostly 
badly preserved, numerous 
pieces of tusk, averaging 6 
inches in length. One small 
tusk (2 inches in diameter) 
i n pieces, the Atlas vertebra 
and small part of skull (?) 
Elephas anti quits {Falc.) 
Two large teeth.* 
Bison. 
Bison priscus (?) 
Part of horn core. 
Ox. 
Bos primigenius {Bojanus.) Ultimateand penultimate 
molars.

Red Deer, 
Cervus elaphus {Linn.) 
Small part of skull with 
horn boss attached. 
Horse. 
Equus cahallus 
Distal end of left hind 
canon bone. 
It cannot be said positively that the pieces of tusk, the atlas 
vertebra, and the small pieces of skull belong to the mammoth, but 
* Also the small one since found, already referred to,
