There is no proof of its having inhabited PreglacialBritain, as the remains from the Forest-bed on the Cromer shore inthe collection of Mr. Fitch, of Norwich, ascribed by Professor Owento B. leptorhinus, viewed by the light of other remains in thecabinets of the Rev. S. W. King and the Rev. J. Gunn, belong tothe new and undescribed Pliocene species the Bhinoceros Etruscus ofDr. Falconer.
