55 and 56. Unguial, or hoof phalanges. Deposited by Dr, Black-

57 and 58. Small fossil Bison ( Bison minor). Metatarsal bones. 
Deposited by Dr. Blackmore, 
59 to 61. Metacarpal bones. Deposited by Dr. Blackmore. 
Scattered metacarpal and metatarsal bones of slender proportions, 
and having a well marked thickening of the inner edge of the 
groove for the extensor tendon, are not of unfrequent occurrence 
at Fisherton ; the metatarsal bones in particular are almost identical 
with those in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons from 
the ossiferous fissures at Oreston. It is not improbable that the 
scanty supply of grass afforded by our chalk hills accounts for the 
predominance of the small-sized breeds of the different herbivorous 
quadrupeds in this neighbourhood. 
62 to 64. Upper molar teeth. Deposited by Dr . Blackmore. 
65 and 66. Series of upper molar teeth of both right and left sides. 
The permanent premolars are fully developed in the jaw, and 
about to displace the deciduous ones ; the crown of the last 
molar has just commenced to be worn down by the mastica¬ 
tion of the food. Deposited by Dr Blackmore. 
These molar teeth (62 to 66) are remarkable as possessing a 
small accessory column between the two lobes on the external surface, 
in addition to that one so constant in the upper molar teeth of the 
Bovidse, on the inner side. This column is most fully developed 
in the last molar ; it is also very distinct in the second, but absent 
in the first true molar. 
67 and 68. First and second upper molar teeth of right and left 
sides. Deposited by Dr. Blackmore. 
69. Second and third upper molars. Deposited by Dr. Blackmore. 
70 and 71. Upper molar teeth. Presented by Mr. John Harding. 
72 to 75. Upper molar teeth, having the two central islands of 
enamel quite simple. Deposited by Dr.'Blackrnore. 
76. Series of three lower molar teeth. Deposited by Dr. Black- 
more. 
77. Lower molar teeth, found with 65 and 66. Deposited by Dr. 
Blackmore. 
78 to 80. Last lower molar teeth, more curved than usual. De¬ 
posited by Dr. Blackmore. 
81 to 84. Lower molar teeth. Presented by Mr. John Harding . 
85. Small lower molar tooth in portion of jaw. Deposited by Dr. 
Blackmore. 
86. Rather large, unworn upper molar tooth. Deposited by Dr. 
Blackmore. % 
The identification of the different species of Oxen from isolated 
bones and detached molar teeth is always most difficult, and 
in many cases impossible; indeed, Cuvier affirmed that the 
bones of the existing races of this numerous family resembled each 
o her so closely that entire crania were necessary to satisfactorily
