Hare[1] (Lepus sp. ?). | Crane[2] (Grus communis). |
Water Vole (Arvicola amphibius). | Raven (Corvus corax). |
Duck (Anas boscas). | Fowl.[3] |
I am indebted to Mr. Pycraft, of the British Museum; Mr. Eagle Clarke, of the Royal Scottish Museum; and Dr. Ramsay H. Traquair, F.R.S., for assistance in identifying some of the bones. I am also indebted to the Council of the Royal Society of Edinburgh for permission to reproduce Figs. 58, 59 and 60; Plate XCV., Figs. 1 and 2; and Plate XCVI., Fig. 1.
1 The hare is represented by a shoulder blade-whether it belonged to the variable or the brown hare has not been determined.
2 The crane was still breeding in East Anglia at the end of the sixteenth century.
3 The domestic fowl is represented by a metatarsal armed with a large spur-perhaps the metatarsal belonged to a lighting cock.
