page 384 note 1 See Scharff, R. F., Proc. Roy. Ir. Acad., 27B (1909), 81–6Google Scholar, for the suggestion that the Irish horse may be descended from an indigenous wild breed; Miss G. Roche, M.Sc, Natural History Division, National Museum of Ireland, informs me, however, that there is no evidence for a wild horse in Ireland, while the evidence for an early date for horse-bones from Shandon Cave, Co. Waterford, or any Irish cave, is not proven (see Coleman, J. C., Jour. Roy. Soc. Antiq. Ire., 77 (1947), 6379Google Scholar). But see Coffey, G., Proc. Roy. Ir. Acad., 25C (1904), 1420Google Scholar, for a possibly Bronze Age horse-burial.

page 385 note 1 Mahr, op. cit., also suggested that ‘the type seems to be of circum-Alpine origin’ and that ‘the “tintinnabula” of the developed Western Hallstatt province show strong affinities with it’.
