328 Miscellaneous. 



first made known to the writers by Mr. J. Ward, of tlie Cardiff 

 Museum, but the news of mammalian bones being found soon spread, 

 and many of the remains were carried away. An arrangement to 

 work the cave systematically was made, with the permission of the 

 owner. Major Nicholson, and it has now been entirely worked out, 

 the results being given in the present paper. 



The quarry is situated near the top of the plateau, at about 

 1100 feet above Ordnance-datum. The cave is evidently a master- 

 joint in the limestone, enlarged by water, and, besides being a 

 swallow-hole, has served as a hysena-den. The large number 

 of mammalian remains found includes lion, hyaena, rhinoceros, 

 Elepha^, and other Pleistocene forms ; but, besides these, there were 

 numerous bones and teeth of fallow-deer, mixed with the Pleistocene 

 remains at all horizons in the cave. The physical conditions are 

 Buch as to preclude, as the Authors think, any idea of a rcdeposition 

 of the bones at any date subsequent to the Pleistocene Period ; 

 and it is concluded, therefore, that the fallow-deer (Cervm dama) 

 •was a Pleistocene species, although hitherto supposed to be a much 

 later introduction. 



MISCELLANEOUS. 



On Chelonethi. By C. J. With, Copenhagen. 



Bt an oversight, which I greatly regret, the names Chelifer 

 punciatus, Keys., and Ch. hrevidigitatus, Keys., have been con- 

 fused in my paper " On Chelonethi &c." in the January number of 

 the ' Annals.' I have not examined Ch. hrevidigitatus, as stated 

 on p. 112, but Ch. pundatus ; the former species is not in the 

 collections of the British Museum, only the latter. The remarks on 

 " Chelifer hrevidigitatus, Keys. 188o (3), pp. 48-49, tab. iv. 

 figs. 6-6 c," consequently refer to Ch. punctatus, Keys. 1885 (3), 

 pp. 45-46, tab. iv. figs. 3-3 c. 



Owing to the same confusion of the names, " a^'' and ^j" *' in tho 

 synopsis (p. 97) must be altered to 



a^''. Hairs of the tergites within a 



distinct white spot ; hmd higher 



than broad, distinctly longer 



than fingers punctatus, Keys. 



h^'. Ilairs not situated in distinct 



white spots brevidigitntits, Keys. 



An indistinctly written Museum label caused the locality for 

 Ideoroncus me.ricanus, Bks., to be wrongly given on p. 130. It 

 should be " Chantilly, Windward side of Grenada, West Indies." 

 On p. 139, fourth lino from bottom, for "sternite" read 

 " segment."
