page 43 note 1 It is, perhaps, noteworthy that, in the hrief contents of Kent's Cavern, written before his letter from Lyons, Dr. Buckland mentioned the remains of rhinoceros, elephant, horse, elk, deer, ox, hysena, bear, tiger, wolf, fox, “and of an unknown carnivorous animal, at least as large as a tiger, the genus of which has not yet been determined.” (See Edin. Phil. Journ., vOl. xiv., pp. 366—64, 1826). This great unknown was, no doubt, Machairodus.
