MAMMALS OF LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLAND. 
in the Museum.” This was referred to in ‘The Geologist,’ 1859, p. 174; in 
Ansted’s ‘Physical Geography and Geology of the County of Leicester,’ 1866, 
pp. 59-60 ; also, very briefly, by the late Dr. Leith Adams, at p. 6 of his 
‘ ^Monograph on the British Fossil Elephants’ (Palieontographical Society, 1877) ; 
and Mr. Harrison mentions it (p. 48 ‘ Geol. L. & R.’), but erroneously gives the 
date as 1860, and gives a further list of several occurring at various places, leaving 
the inference to be drawn that they were of the above species, although there is 
no doubt that they are referrible to the preceding. The jMuseum possesses a 
nearly perfect tooth and part of another (presented 17th June, 1 858, by the Lit. and 
Phil. Soc.) — the only relics of the Barrow specimen described above, — and also a 
very fine, perfect, tooth, from Thorpe Arnold, presented by Captain Knight (N.D.). 
These were originally labelled E. ]jvimigenius, but, suspecting that they 
were referrible to E. antiquus, I took the opinion of Mr. R. Etheridge, F.R.S., 
of the British jMuseum (Xat. Hist.), wlio kindly settled the matter by confirming 
my impression.

RHINOCEROS (SiMALL-NOSED ?). Rhinoceros (leqjtorhinus ?) (Owen). 
Of Mid-Pleistocene age, but extinct before the Pre-Historic period. — Of 
this species, which we had hitherto regarded as tlchorhiniis, until I took 
the opinion of IMr. A. S. Woodward, F.G.S., the Belgrave gravels have yielded 
thirteen upper, and eight lower, molars (some of these having been mentioned 
by iMr. Harrison, ‘ Geol. L. & R.,’ p. 48), found at depths of nine to eleven 
feet, and presented to the IMuseum by Messrs. G. H. Nevinson, Boughton, 
Gamble, and others, of Leicester, at various dates ; one upper molar in Sept. 
1881 (donor unknown) ; five lower molars in excellent condition, found on 3rd 
June, 1886, and presented by Mr. G. H. Nevinson; and a second left meta- 
carpal (formerly erroneously recorded as meta-tarsal), found on 4th Feb., 1876, 
and presented by IMr. G. H. Nevinson. At Thurmaston, several teeth appear 
to have been found, and the 3Iuseum possesses an upper molar from thence, 
presented by jMr. Earby, in 1874.

HORSE. Equus cahallus* Linmeus. 
Of Early Pleistocene age, extending to the present. T was formerly in- 
disposed to assign to the remains of this mammal an earlier date than the-
