318 Notice and Review of the Reliquae Diluvianae. 
ire, in which was found nearly the entire skeleton of 
a “rhinoceros. This the author supposes was drifted into 
the cave along with the diluvial detritus; an open chasm 
having been accidentally discovered, in exploring the cav- 
ern, in a spot where it was not suspected to exist. Seve- 
ral other instances of caves with similar remains are men- 
tioned, the circumstances of which indicate that the bones 
were either drifted into them at the deluge, or that the 
animals had fallen into them at an anterior period. In 
the same vicinity occurs the suite of caverns called the 
Foxholes, containing diluvial sediment ; and the mouths 
of these cavities open at such a height in the hill, that it is 
impossible to refer the introduction of the mud, to the 
flood of any rivulet now existing in the vicinity. In seve- 
ral of the caves in Germany, also, in which exist similar 
vee mena, the resent entrance is often a hole i in an

of mud might not have been derived from some former 
partial inundation. 
A series of caverns were examined in the vicinigaae 
Plymouth, in England, containing the bones of the same 
animals as that at Kirkdale. From a thorough examina- 
tion of all the circumstances of their occurrence, Mr. Buck- 
aed concludes “ that the animals had fallen erat the

stances of the case, however, will not warrant us in sup- 
posing the human remains found here, to have been ante 
diluvian: but they rather lead us to suppose this woman 
was buried here, with numerous trinkets, about the time 
of the invasion of England by the Romans ; ‘while | the other
