HYAENA CAVES IN DEVONSHIRE. 



Professor Buckland has lately examined two caves in De- 

 vonshire, in both of which he found, in a bed of mud beneath a 

 crust of calc-sinster, gnawed fragments and splinters of bones, 

 with teeth of hyajiias and bears. There were no entire 

 bones, except the solid ones of the toes, heels, &c,, as at 

 Kirkdale, which were too hard for the teeth of the hyaena. 

 They appear simply to have been dens, but less abundantly 

 inhabited than that of Kirkdale. In the same cave, Pi-ofessor 

 Buckland found one tooth of the rhinoceros and two or three 

 only of the horse. — Kditi. Phil. Journ.
