Rivière adds the Wapiti, or large variety, and the Cervus Corsicanus, or small variety of the stag, the chamois, and the woolly rhinoceros (the two last of which may be perhaps identical with the ibex and R. hemitœchus, determined by Prof. Busk, as neither is mentioned by M. Rivière), and the Capra primigenia of Gervais, a large goat commonly found in neolithic caves.
