With respect to the larger Carnivora, Dr. Buckland has 
well observed that, ‘it is more probable that the Hyenas 
found their dead carcases, and dragged them to the den, 
than that they were ever joint tenants of the same cavern.” 
It is, however, obvious, he adds, that they were all con- 
temporaneous inhabitants of ancient Yorkshire.* 
In the bone-cavern lately explored on Durdham Down, 
near Bristol, Mr. Stutchbury determined, amongst the 
remains of the Carnivorous animals, one Bear and eleven or 
twelve individual Hyeenas. 
In the cave at Paviland, in the lofty limestone cliff facing 
the sea on the coast of Glamorganshire, the following parts 
of a large species of Bear are enumerated by Dr. Buck- 
land :—Many molar teeth; two canines; the symphysial 
end of two lower jaws, exhibiting the sockets of the incisor 
teeth and of the canines, the latter are more than three 
inches deep ; a humerus nearly entire; many vertebre ; two 
ossa calcis ; metacarpal and metatarsal bones. 
At Oreston, on the coast of Devonshire, several caverns 
or cavernous fissures were discovered during the quarrying of 
the limestone rock for the construction of the breakwater at 
Plymouth. The first of these, described in the Philoso- 
phical Transactions for 1817, contained the bones of a 
species of Rhinoceros; in the second, a smaller cavern 
distant one hundred and twenty yards from the former, 
and described in the Philosophical Transactions for 1821, 
were found, associated with the tooth of a Rhinoceros 
and parts of a deer, some teeth and bones of a species of 
Ursus. 
The fossils referable to the Bear here discovered, include 
a canine tooth, left side, lower jaw; a canine tooth, left 
side, upper jaw; the penultimate grinder, right side, upper
