(10) The northern animals include the following: Alpine hare,
musk-sheep, glutton, reindeer, arctic fox, lemming, tailless
hare, marmot, spermophile, ibex, snowy vole, chamois. (Geikie's
"Prehistoric Europe," p. 32.)

(12) The following animals are given as southern species:
Hippopotamus, African elephant, spotted hyena, striped hyena,
serval, caffer cat, lion, leopard. In addition to the above
there were also four or five species of elephants and three
species of rhinoceros, which have since become extinct.
(Geikie's "Prehistoric Europe," p. 32.)
(13) It is scarcely necessary to give a list of these animals.
Prof. Dawkins enumerates thirty-three species. The following are
some of the most important: Urus, bison, horse, stag, roe,
beaver, rabbit, otter, weasel, martin, wildcat, fox, wolf, wild
boar, brown bear, grizzly bear. (Geikie's "Prehistoric Europe,"
p, 32.)

"The Great Ice Age;" also, by the same author, "Prehistoric
Europe." In Appendix "B" of this latter work the author gives a
map of Europe at the climax of the Glacial Age, showing the
great extension of the glaciers. This map embodies the results
of the labors of a great many eminent scholars. See also Croll's
"Climate and Time;" also Wallace's "Island Life," pp. 102-202.
We are not aware that the statements as set forth above are
seriously questioned by any geologist of note. Some consider it
quite possible that the bowlder clays of Southern England and
Central Germany were deposited during a period of submergence
from melting icebergs. (Daw
