I. Contributions to the history of the pleiocene and pleistocene deer. Part I. Cervus verticornis, Cervus savini

The numerous cervine remains which occur in the various collections in Britain and on the Continent have been studied by the author for the last twenty-five years, and in this communication two species, the one hitherto ill-defined, and the other new to science, have been described. The first, orCervus verticornis , Dawkins, remarkable for the singular forward and downward curvature of the first tine, is represented by a large series of skulls and antlers, which enable the author to define the changes in antler-form from youth to old age, as well as to relegate it to the division of deer with palmated antlers, and to establish its geological age to be Pleiocene, and early Pleistocene, in Norfolk and Suffolk.
