PAKT I. (Eead 21st April 1880.) GEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE. We,have no evidence of the occurrence of the squirrel in post-tertiary deposits. It is not, I believe, made mention of by Dr James Geikie as being found in post-tertiary deposits in Scotland in his " Great Ice Age." Mr A. Murray, in " The Geographical Distribution of Mammals," tells us : " The only fossil remains of squirrels are of recent date. Remains of the living species of squirrels have been found in bone caves, but nothing indicating its presence in Europe or indeed anywhere else at a more ancient date." Nor does it appear to be of common occurrence even in more recent remains. The only evidence of squirrels in the Pleistocene Shale of Britain is that afforded by gnawed fir-cones in the pre-glacial forest bed of Norfolk, which were recognised by Professor Heer and the late Rev. S. W. King, as I am in¬ formed by Professor Boyd Dawkins, who adds further, that he " does not know of any bones of squirrels in any prehis¬ toric deposit, and I do not think that the nuts (found in marl, etc.) are proved to have been gnawed by them and not by Arvicola amjihitna." I may add here that I have since collected gnawed nuts from various localities and compared them with recent ones, and it seems to me quite impossible to separate them by any evidence afforded by the tooth- marks.
