"44 - Mr. Grogs’ s Account of a Cavern i in Somer fesfbir e, 
E 4 
ftone. I had an opportunity of examining the procefs in every part. 
Had the cavern not beeri difcovered, and thefe depofited fubftances 
' not been removed, I do not doubt that the whole excavation would, 
in no great length of time, have been completely filled up. The 
water was full bringing frefh quantities of calcareous earth, and: the 
bones were in fome places. completely incorporated with the folid 
rock. Every degree of intermediate folidity was plainly difcernible. 
There were feveral mas of ftone, seach, of which contained a 
ftalaétite, Pa rua which, whew the’ cavern was 5 irk dc i 
covered, reached within an inch of a cone of the fame kind: which 
rifes from the foot, FUA lome, accident. a PSU part of the ftalactite 
column would have been dotted: of rea feos fcet in height. 
On ftriking this ftala@tite, a found is produced fimilar to that of a. 
bell, which may be heard at a confiderable c e beyond the 
mouth of thé cavern. 3
