III.—On the Occurence of Machairodus in the Forest-Bed of Norfolk

Extract

A Special interest has always attached itself in this country to the remains of that rare and bizarre carnivor, the Sabre-toothed tiger. For as yet it has only been indicated to us on this side of the Channel by the most fragmentary and unique specimens —the two teeth, incisor and canine, obtained by the Rev. Mr. MacEnery, from Kent's Hole, Torquay, the authenticity of which have even been doubted. Whilst, however, palæontologists have pretty generally come to the conclusion that these two isolated teeth are really the remains of a Devon Sabre-tooth, no further specimens have, I believe, been recorded from other caverns in this country.
