_Fossil Elk of Ireland_ (Vol. ii., p. 494.; Vol. iii., pp. 26. 121.
212.).--W. R. C. (a Subscriber) will find some very interesting accounts
of this creature in Boate and Molyneux's _Natural History of Ireland_,
p. 137.; and in an excellent paper by Dr. Cane, in the _Transactions of
the Kilkenny Archæological Society for the Year 1850_, where several
works containing accounts of the animal are referred to. An interesting
memoir by Dr. Hibbert on the discovery of the _Megaceros Hibernicus_, or
fossil elk, in the Isle of Man, will be found in the fifth number of the
_Edinburgh Journal of Science_, published in 1826.[1]
[Footnote 1: _Errata._--Query, should not the word "Rochenon," in
Vol. i., p. 380. col. 1., be "Rosbercon?" and should not "D. H.
MCarthy," in Vol. ii., p. 348. col. 1., be "D. F. MCarthy"
(Denis Florence MCarthy)? Such errors, however trifling they may
now appear, may hereafter confuse.]
