lands, p. 338.) 
Besides these jaws, there are several limb bones of 
small rodents, which have not been determined satisfac- 
torily. 
Sorex vulgaris (Common Shrew.) 
Two upper jaws, evidently from the same _ individual, 
and with all the molar teeth in place, are referred to the 
Common Shrew, as they agree in size and form with this 
species. They are labelled as coming “ from the ‘ Stone- 
bed,’ just above the ‘old soil,” and they are more recent 
than the other remains. 
Gallus domesticus (Common Fowl.) 
A right femur, and various other bones and fragments, 
some of them charred (“the charred fragments came from 
the Black Band”) represent the Common Fowl. This 
species has not been found in deposits earlier in date than 
the Bronze Age in Britain. 
Rana temporaria (Common Frog.) 
A distal end of a humerus, and a fragment of a small 
tibio-tarsus, we would assign to this species. 
There are also two or three imperfect bones of small 
passerine birds, which we have been unable to satisfactorily 
determine. 
MOLLUSCA. 
A large number of land mollusca was sent to us from 
various parts of the excavations, as well as a large quantity 
of the old soil. This on being washed yielded many small 
species, whilst several examples were obtained from 
material contained in the larger forms.
