determine the relation of the fossil species. The upper molar teeth 
from Fisherton are all unusually narrow, as will be readily seen by 
comparing them with the teeth from Berwell Fen.

The Great fossil Ox (Bos primigenius') was still living in the 
ancient forests of our island when Cassar first invaded Britain ; 
and the gigantic proportion of this animal was noticed by the 
Roman historian, who described it as but little inferior in size to 
the elephant. The long horns were gracefully curved, first slightly 
backward and upward, then downward and forward, and . lastly 
inward and upward, the tips spreading to a breadth of nearly five 
feet. Against the wall of the circular room is a very perfect, 
though small, skull of this Ox, which was obtained from the peat 
of Berwell Fen, about 13 feet from the surface. 
The forehead is rather longer and narrower than in the typical 
examples of this species; it probably belonged to an adult female. 
Mr. Dowding, of this city, possesses a fragment of a horn core 
(from the Fisherton clay), which must have belonged to a large 
animal; it is broken off some distance from the base, but even now 
measures 13 inches in circumference.
