Head of OVIBOS MOSCHATUS engraved on wood, found in the Thayngen Cave. Young man chasing the aurochs, from Laugerie. On a reindeer antler is represented a woman with flat breasts and very high hips, followed by a serpent; a shell from the crag near Walton-on-the-Naze had a human face roughly engraved on one side.
The bone also begins to die when the skin and periosteum is stripped off, and the hormone from this also ceases to be produced. The annual shedding and recrescence of the antler, however, is only to be understood in connexion with the effect of the testicular hormone.
Then, I only could study a moth to my satisfaction and set it free; now, I could make reproductions so perfect that every antler of its antennae could be counted with the naked eye, and copy its colours accurately, before giving back its liberty. I asked him whether he wanted money or a picture of it, and as I expected, he said `money, so he was paid.
"That is the very bear that made us run," said Burr, laughing. All this time Strongarm had been making a picture of wild horses. He now held up the picture, scratched on a piece of deer antler. "See, this horse has his ears up," he said. "He heard me coming. Here I am with my spear." Burr and the boys crowded round and said, "Oh!"
John Fiske puts the case thus strongly: "The stone arrow-heads, the sewing-needles, the necklaces and amulets of cut teeth, and the daggers made from antler, used by the Eskimos, resemble so minutely the implements of the Cave-men, that if recent Eskimo remains were to be put into the Pleistocene caves of France and England, they would be indistinguishable in appearance from the remains of the Cave-men which are now found there."
That the deer is an intrusive immigrant, and that it has not yet been in South America long enough to change its mating season in accordance with the climate, as the birds geologically doubtless very old residents have changed their breeding season, is rendered probable by the fact that it conforms so exactly in the time of its antler growth to the universal rule which obtains in the great arctogeal realm, where deer of many species abound and where the fossil forms show that they have long existed.
Lartet had already brought to light a bone implement covered with ornaments in relief which he ascribed to the Palaeolithic period, and which he imagined had been used for extracting marrow; and another archaeologist tells of objects in reindeer antler found in the Gourdan Cave, which he thinks were used for a similar purpose.
Next day he returned with his companion for meat, his antler trophy and the picture, which we present. This bull weighed approximately sixteen hundred pounds and had a spread of sixty inches across its antlers. Upon the second expedition a year later, Young bagged another moose.
Spring was in her blood. How fast the car was moving, and those young clouds. Palgrave helped her out with a hot hand. She opened the door with her latch-key. "Thank you, Gilbert," she said. "Good night." But Palgrave followed her in. "Don't you think I've earned the right to one cigarette?" He threw his coat into a chair in the hall and hung his hat on the longest point of an antler.
Schliemann at Hissarlik, were two fragments of reindeer antler pierced with holes presenting a singular resemblance to those we have been describing.
