while the whole value of the fossils in most cases depends on 

 the connection in which thej- are found and the objects with 

 which they are associated. Accordingly, when a cave rich in 

 suitable deposits is found, competent aid should be obtained 

 in the removal of its contents. 



In the Report on the remains referred to above^ the follow- 

 ing caves, not referred to by Dr. ScharfF, are mentioned : — 



Co. Waterford. 



1. (i, Ordnance Sheet 31). An additional cave at Shandon, which 

 proves to be very extensive, and by no means quarried away, as believed 

 when the above paper was written. 



2. (10, Sheet 30) Coolanav Cave, named Ooanagoloor, a vast cavern. 



3. (12, Sheet 30), Kilgreany Cave, at Mrs. Williams's farm. 



4. (16, Sheet 30), Bridgequarter, a cave north of Condon's house. 



5. (20, Sheet 30) Bridgequarter, cave in Whitechurch House Demesne. 

 6-9. (23-26, Sheet 29), Bewley, four caves near the Dun of Bewley. 



Particulars, with a map showing the position of these caves, 



is given in the above paper, and the numbers in brackets 



denote the several caves on that map. Several others are 



mentioned but need not be quoted in connection with an 



enquiry into the number and position of caves likely to yield 



a subterranean terrestrial fauna or the remains of extinct 



animals. 



10. (Sheet 30) Ballynamintra Middle. In the rock called Carrigmurrish 

 I discovered an extensive system of cave-galleries since the above report 

 was written. The letter " B " on the map would correspond with the 

 position of this spot. 



Cave at Ballymote, Co. Sllg-o.— With reference to my note on the 

 Irish Caves in last month's Irish NatiiraUst, Dr. V. Ball mentioned to me 

 that Mr. Somerset Ward had found a portion of a Bear's skull in a cave 

 near Ballymote, County Sligo, in 18S7. 



R. F. SCHARFF, Dublin. 



Additional Irish Caves. — Having read Dr. Scharff's paper in the 

 Irish Naturalist for March, I send the names of one or two not mentioned 

 in his list : — 



Co. Cork. Anua-Clogh, Mallow, Archceologia, 1806. Carrigacrump, near 

 Cloyne, stated in Windele's " Cork " to be of great interest, Pooleen 

 Caves, four miles west of Berehaven, also mentioned in Windele's 

 "Cork." 



Co. Kerry. Ballybunion. — W. Ainsworth, Dublin, 1834. 



James Coi^Eman, Southampton.
