It is a well-known fact that Deer annually castoff and re-produce 
their horns, and it is worthy of remark that the number of shed 
horns disinterred from the more recent geological deposits usually 
bear the same proportion as in the present day; four or five pair 
of shed antlers occurring to every single pair found attached to the 
skull. This is a strong argument in favour of the animals having 
lived and died in those places where we now find their fossilised 
remains. 
50. Great fossils aurochs (Bison prisons). * Metatarsal bone of 
small size. The peculiar ridge of bone on the inner side of 
the groove for the extensor tendon is very strongly marked.
