ros, Mammoth, and Horse, it 
is not improbable that they 
may have belonged to indi- 
viduals whose carcasses were 
introduced, as Dr. Buckland 
conjectures those of Kirkdale 
to have been, by the agency 
of the Hyena spelea. The 
canine tooth (fig. 65) is ra- 
ther smaller than the one in 
the portion of the upper Jaw ; 
but, from the thickly coated 
and solidified fang, a 6, this 
tooth must have belonged to 
an old Tiger. M. de Blainville 
has figured a second and 
third molar tooth of the Felis 
spelea from Kent’s Hole, on the 
authority of Mr. Mac Enery.* 
Fossil remains of the Felis 
spelea have been obtained from 
the caves at Sandford Hill, 
Hutton, Banwell, and Bleadon : 
the most characteristic of these 
Canine of Felis spelzea. 
Kent’s Hole, is in the possession of the Rey.

* M. de Blainville frequently cites a “ Description of the Cavern of Kent’s 
Hole, Devonshire,” which he supposes to have been published by Mr. Mac Enery, 
but which he regrets that he has not been able to procure. I have been assured 
by Dr. Buckland that Mr. Mac Enery never published such a work ; and it is 
most probable that the drawings, or lithographic impressions, shewn by Mr. Mac 
Enery to Professor De Blainville, were those designed to illustrate the forth- 
coming second volume of the Reliquie Diluviane.
