Abstract
With the remains of animals from the Cavern of Bruniquel I brought away evidences of about thirty individuals of the Horse-kind. Like those of other herbivorous quadrupeds, they consisted of broken-up parts of the skeleton, chiefly portions of jaws with teeth, fragments of the limb-bones, and detached teeth. From the less instructive fragments left behind, or consigned to the rubbish-basket, I estimated that not fewer than a hundred individuals of the Equine genus had contributed to that proportion of the organic contents of the cavern which had been exhumed at the time of my exploration (January and February, 1864).Keywords
