86 Mr. Clift on some fossil bones 
than the average size of animals of that genus at the present 
day. 
The number of bones collected, afford sufficient grounds 
for supposing them to have belonged to more than a dozen 
individuals, varying considerably in their age. 
Of smaller ruminants , there are a few portions of the cylin- 
drical bones belonging to one or two individuals, which are 
too imperfect to admit of being very satisfactorily identified, 
but apparently are those of a deer ; and some others be- 
longing to very young animals in which the epiphyses had 
not been united, and consequently the bones had not acquired 
sufficient distinctness of character to allow of our speaking 
decidedly concerning them ; but they have been most pro- 
bably those of a calf or fawn. 
Of the horse, the bones are satisfactorily identified by vari- 
ous specimens of the teeth, the large cylindrical bones, the 
os calcis, metacarpus and metatarsus, first and second coro- 
nary bones, the sesamoid or nut-bone, and particularly by the 
terminal phalange or coffin-bone of the foot. (Fig. 6.) From 
the number of these there must have been twelve or more 
individuals of not less than fourteen hands high ; one of the 
metatarsal bones measuring eleven inches and a half in length. 
Some of these animals, from the worn state of the teeth, 
appear to have been very aged. 
Of the hyasna, there are bones and teeth which belonged 
to at least five or six individuals of various ages ; some of 
them equalling the largest of those found at Kirkdale in 
1820. Among these, is a part of the right side of the lower 
jaw, in which remain one of the shedding molar teeth, and
