127. Series of lower molar (4) of old animal. Deposited by Dr. 
Blackmore. 
128. Last lower molar of very old animal. Deposited by Dr. 
Blackmore. 
129 and 130. Incisor teeth. No. 130 must have belonged to a 
very old animal, as the whole of the crown of the tooth is 
worn away. Deposited by Dr. Blackmore. 
131. Nearly half lower jaw with teeth. The first premolar is 
wanting. Presented by Mr. John Harding. 
132 and 133. Half lower jaw with complete series of teeth, and 
also teeth of opposite side. Deposited by Dr. Blackmore. 
134. Horn core, slightly imperfect. Presented by Mr. John 
Harding. 
138 and 139. Metatarsal and metacarpal bones. Presented by Mr. 
John Harding. 
140 to 142. Mataearpal bones. No. 140 is a remarkably stout 
bone. 142 belonged to a young animal. Deposited by Dr. 
Blackmore. 
143 and 144. Phalanges. Deposited by Dr. Blackmore. 
The Long-fronted Ox in point of size presented a striking contrast 
to that of the gigantic primigenial one ; it had short, strongly- 
curved horns, which were often slightly flattened laterally. This 
small Ox was in domestic use during the time of the Homan occu¬ 
pation of Britain, and it has undoubtedly afforded us the primitive 
stock from which all our present breeds of short-horned cattle have 
been derived. 
CASE N. 
The bones in this case have not yet been arranged; the con¬ 
tents may be briefly stated to consist of remains of the Mammoth 
(Elephas primigenius ), Tichorhine rhinoceros (Rhinoceros ticlio- 
rhinus ), Great fossil Ox (Bos primigenius), Small long-fronted Ox 
(Bos longifrons), Small fossil Bison (Bison minor), Rein-deer ( Cervus 
tarandus), Red-deer (Cervus elaphus), and various Equine remains. 
There is also on the upper shelf a tolerably perfect skull of the 
Thick-toothed grampus (Phoccena crassidens), from the alluvial 
deposits of Kent. 
Some of these bones are presented by Miss Salisbury, Dr. 
Fowler, and Mr. John Harding, whilst the remainder are deposited 
by-Dr. Blackmore: the majority are from the Fisherton clay pits. 
The chronological relation of the different Bone caves has always 
been involved in considerable uncertainty from the necessarily 
isolated position of these deposits ; very much light, however, may 
be thrown upon this question by comparing the remains found in 
well defined deposits with those of the Caves. In this view the 
fauna of the Fisherton beds, bears a sti iking resemblance to that of 
the ossiferous fissures of Oreston, in Devonshire.
