2 PALEOLITHIC MAN AT CRESWELL. 



absent, one implement only having been found — a flint scraper 

 near the surface ; but the animal remains were very numerous and 

 varied, differing only from those of the other caves in the pre- 

 sence of the Arctic Fox and the Glutton, the bones of which 

 were recognised by Professor Busk ; the former of these animals 

 had not been previously met with in Britain, although its 

 remains were abundant in some of the continental caves. The 

 Pin Hole also contained bones of the Urus, which was not 

 found in either of the others. The total number of the Pleis- 

 tocene species found in the Creswell caves was 21, these are 

 shown in the accompanying list, which does not, however, 

 represent the entire number of animals living in the district 

 during the period ; we must add to it at any rate the Lynx 

 and the Hippopotamus, one of which, the Lynx, has been met 

 with in the neighbourhood, and the other not very far distant.
