On reindeer and other mammalian bones discovered by Mr. Mafic of Dreghorn in a rock-fissure at Green Craig, Pentland Hills

Abstract

In the succeeding pages I have prepared a list of Reindeer and other mammalian bones discovered at Green Craig, Pentland Hills, by R. A. Macfie, Esq. of Dreghorn, near Edinburgh. The remains were, in the first instance, sent to Dr Joseph Anderson of the Antiquarian Museum, and through him Professor Sir William Turner’s attention was directed to the bones, which were then presented by Mr Macfie to the Anatomical Museum of the University of Edinburgh. At Sir William Turner’s request I examined the bones, and have prepared a report on them, which I have now the honour of bringing before the Society. I have especially to acknowledge with gratitude the enthusiastic co-operation of Mr Macfie, upon whose estate the deposit was discovered, and by whose spontaneous energy the material was secured in the best possible condition. I may state at the outset that in this Paper I propose to deal exclusively with the osteological import of the ‶find,″ leaving its geological aspects to be discussed by my friend Mr John Henderson. The remains consist of bones and fragments of bone representing a number of animals. Thus we have recognised portions of the skeletons of five individuals of the Cervine group of deer; while the presence of the remains of two horses is evidenced by portions of two right radii; the probability of the presence of the wolf by a radius and ulna, and of the fox by teeth and portions of the lower jaw. The condition of the bones, as
