These are the Reindeer {Cervustaraiidus) and the Bison [Bison prisctis). The Reindeer,especially, must have played a most important part in thelives of these prehistoric hunters, and have been of serviceto them in a multitude of ways.

On one side is the Reindeer, most realistically PAL.EOLITHIC ART 55 drawn, browsing as it walks along ; on the other is theadjacent scene including water and herbage.
