Extract

The great geological interest which attaches to the fossil remains of the Musk-ox or Sheep (Ovibos moschatus, Blainv.), found in British Pleistocene deposits, and the few instances hitherto recorded of their occurrence (together with a recent discovery brought to my notice), have suggested to me the desirability of a brief enumeration of them.
