[1] South American remains and some others are omitted owing to
insufficiency of data relating to their surroundings.
[2] Names of fossil varieties of Rhinoceros. These are very confused.
The term R. _leptorhinus_ should be avoided altogether. R.
_megarhinus_ represents the R. _leptorhinus_ of Falconer and
Cuvier. R. _merckii_ represents R. _hemitoechus_ of Falconer, which
is the R. _leptorhinus_ of Owen and Boyd Dawkins. R. _tichorhinus_
is R. _antiquitatis_ of Falconer and some German writers.
[3] The formation of the High Terrace drift is earlier than the date of
arrival of the 'Siberian' invasion of Britain by certain Voles.
Already in Pliocene times, some Voles had come into Britain from
the south-east of Europe. But the Galley Hill man, if contemporary
with the High Terrace drift, had arrived in Britain ages before the
appearance of _Homo aurignacensis_ supposed by Klaatsch to be
closely allied, and to have come into Europe through Central if not
Northern Asia. The 'High Terrace' mammals have a 'Pliocene' facies.
