exactly with the areas occupied by the Celtic population 
and the German, or Teutonic, invaders. The larger or 
domestic urus extends throughout the low and fertile 
country, and indeed through all the regions which were 
occupied by Angle, Jute, Saxon, or Dane, while the smaller 
Bos long if r Otis is to be found only in those broken and 
rugged regions in which the unhappy Roman provincials 
were able to make a stand against their ruthless enemies. 
The distribution, therefore of the two animals corroborates 
the truth of the view taken by Mr. Freeman, that the conquest 
of Britain by the English was not a mere invasion of one 
race by another, but as complete a dispossession as could 
possibly be imagined. The Bos longifrons lingers in Wales, 
after having once occupied the whole country, just as its 
Celtic owners still linger, while the urus is an invader just 
in the same sense as their English possessors. Both these 
animals were kept in a domestic state on the Continent, and 
they make their appearance with all the domestic animals, 
except the cat, in the possession of the dwellers on the Swiss 
lakes in the neolithic age. The B. longifrons is of a stock 
foreign to Europe, and the urus most probably was domesti- 
cated in some other region by those neolithic people. Both 
these animals have probably been derived from an area to 
the south and east of Europe, and were introduced by the 
neolithic herdsmen and farmers at a very remote period.
