Extract

In some notes communicated to the GeologicalMagazine last April (p. 152), attention was called to the fact that remains of the Glutton had been recently obtained from the “Forest Bed.” So much interest is attached to the discovery of an animal, which at the present day is restricted to the cold northern regions, along with Elephant and other remains, which seem to indicate a warm climate, that it has been thought desirable to give some account of the discovery. I am indebted to Mr. R. Fitch, of Norwich, to whom the specimen belongs, for his courtesy in submitting it to me for examination. It is a portion of a lower jaw with teeth, of a Glutton, Gulo luscus, Linn., a genus which, although known to occur in the fossil state, has hitherto only been obtained from Cave deposits.
