The domesticated Red Jungle-fowl <i>G. gallus is believed to have been dispersed by man from India during the Holocene. The distal end of a radius from the Ipswichian Interglacial deposits at Crayford, Kent, was indistinguishable from that of the wild form of Red Jungle-fowl. A coracoid from the early Middle Pleistocene of N. Norfolk was also very similar to that species but showed differences comparable with those found between different species of <i>Gallus. A new species <i>Gallus europaeus is described with the coracoid as a holotype, and the radius from Kent is tentatively referred to it. -- AATA
