POPULAR MISCELLANY. 



Bone-Caves in Pennsylvania. Profess- 

 or Leidy in company with Dr. T. C Porter, 

 of Easton, Pennsylvania, visited, in August 

 last, Hartman's Cave, near Stroudsburg, 

 Pennsylvania, on the invitation of Mr. T. D. 

 Paret, of that place, and examined a num- 

 ber of interesting animal and other re- 

 mains which were found there. The cave is 

 partly filled with a bed of clay ten feet 

 deep, on which rests a thin layer of stalag- 

 mite, and on this about a foot of black, 

 friable earth mingled with animal and vege- 

 table remL-ns. The cave appears to have 

 been too small to be inhabited by the larger 

 carnivora, and no large entire bones of them 

 were found, but about a half-bushel of frag- 

 ments and splinters of limb-bones of small- 

 er and large animals have been collected, 

 many of which exhibit marks of having been 

 gnawed, whether by rodents or small car- 

 nivora Professor Leidy does not assume to 

 decide. Some of the splinters are derived 

 from such large and strong bones that it is 

 questionable whether even the largest car- 

 nivora could have produced them, and are 

 presumed to be remnants of human feasts, in 

 which the bones were crushed to obtain the 

 marrow. A few of the bones are somewhat 

 charred, among them a small fragment of a 

 bison's jaw with a molar tooth. Most of 

 the bones are of species still living, but 

 some of them, as jaws of the reindeer, bi- 

 son, and wood-rat, are of animals no longer 

 belonging to the fauna of the State ; and a 

 few, as the teeth of the Casteroides Ohioensis,
