After the business of the Annual Meeting was finished, 
Dr. O’Cattacnan, D.C.L., F.8.A. (who occupied the 
chair), on being called upon, gave an interesting 
verbal account of the recent discovery of two human 
skeletons in the Park of Warwick Castle. It appears that 
this curious find was made by some labouring men, while 
employed in making a tiled drain, in that part of the park 
beyond the brook. The fact was kindly communicated to 
Dr. O'Callaghan by the Earl of Warwick, by whose per- 
mission the remains were subsequently exhumed for the 
Doctor’s inspection. He informed the meeting that in 
company with Mr. Durnford Greenway, he carefully 
examined the parts of the skeletons which could be put 
together after their first disturbance, and subsequent 
interment. He was quite satisfied that the skeletons 
were both of male adults. This he ascertained from the 
bones of the pelvis, and the full growth of the wisdom 
teeth. He also inferred that they were of extreme antiquity, 
and probably pre-historic, from the fact of their being 
buried in a doubled-up position, from the smallness of the 
‘bones, the shape of what remained of the cranium, and 
from the unworn projections of the grinding tezth. The

remains were found is about 160 yards from the bridge, 
over the brook, and about 15 yards from the walk, and on 
the side river of it. Dr. O'Callaghan in the next place re- 
called the attention of the members to his account of the dis-
