To the above the three early MS. notices quoted on p. 148-9 must be 

 added to make the list of references complete, and a lev.^ guide-book 

 notices totally devoid of interest. Three vague references I have not 

 succeeded in hunting down : — Tighe (16) says that a notice of the cave 

 appeared in the London Magazine ; Hardman (6) mentions that Rev. 

 James Graves informed him that Bishop Berkeley was the earliest writer 

 on the cave ; and Richard Griffith's reference, I have not succeeded in 

 finding.
