| Mr Hinton's list, 1910. |
| 1. | Elephas antiquus (a more primitive form than E. primigenius). |
| 2. | No Hippopotamus (this occurs later, in the Middle Terrace). |
| 3. | Rhinoceros megarhinus. |
| 4. | Bos: species uncertain. |
| 5. | Equus: species similar to the Pliocene E. stenonis. |
| 6. | Cervus: 3 species: one resembles the Fallow-deer (C. dama), a ‘southern’ form. |
| 7. | Felis leo. |
| 8. | Sus: species uncertain: bones of limbs shew primitive features. |
| 9. | Canis: species uncertain. |
| 10. | Delphinus: species uncertain. |
| 11. | Trogontherium: species differing from the Pliocene form. |
| 12. | Various smaller rodents, such as Voles. |
No definitely ‘Arctic’ mammals are recorded: the general aspect of the above fauna shews a strong similarity to the Pliocene fauna, which appears to have persisted to this epoch without much alteration of the various types represented.

[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.
[4] The upper strata at Taubach yielded Reindeer and Mammoth. Near Weimar, Wüst says the stratigraphical positions of R. merckii and R. antiquitatis have been found inverted.
