been found on and in the granular stalagmite in Undorhay's Gallery ; 

 but these are comparatively recent. In this gallery the cave-earth 

 generally rests on the breccia, the crystalline stalagmite occurring only 

 in patches on the wall ; but hi the breccia there are fragments of a 

 still older stalagmitic floor. In the inner part of Clinnick's gallery the 

 cave-earth thins out, and the two stalagmitic floors come together. 

 Descriptions of various implements are given, especially of two fine 

 ones found in the breccia. Concludes with a table showing the per- 

 centage distribution of various teeth in the several divisions of the 

 cavern. W. T.

 Devon. Trans. Devon. Assoc, vol. vii. pp. 154-161. 



Describes, first, a series of large boulders of New Red Sandstone at 

 Waddeton Court, about 4 miles N. of Dartmouth, and suggests that 

 they were transported by ice from some locality between Berry Head 

 and Glampton Common'; secondly, blocks of trap at Great Englebourne, 

 3 miles S.W. of Totues, which have grooves or scratchings on them, 

 posssibly indicating glacial action ; in each case the boulders rest upon 

 slate. T. M. H. 



. Notes on a Tooth of Machairodus latidens in the Albert 



Memorial Museum, Exeter. Trans. Devon. Assoc, vol. vii. pp. 

 247-260. 

 This tooth was purchased at the sale of the Rev. J. MacEnery's 

 collection. The author brings forward evidence to show the probability 

 of its having been found in the early explorations of Kent's Cavern.

An examination of notices which had appeared during the preceding 

 12 months : — on Brixham Cavern, by Edward Clodd, in the ' Childhood 

 of the World ;' and on Kent's Cavern in Fojp. Sci. llev. Oct. 1874, and 

 in Dr. J. AV. Dawson's ' Story of the Earth and Man.' T. M. H.

 Castleton, Derbyshire. Quart. Joiirn. Geol. Soc. vol. xxxi. pp. 238- 

 245, 2 woodcuts. [For notes on the Bones, see Dawkins, post.'] 

 The Prehistoric Caves examined are those of Cave Dale and GeUy or 

 Hartlo Dale ; the former seem to have been inhabited by man from 

 Neolithic times downwards. The Pleistocene Caves and Fissures are 

 those in Gelly Dale and Windy Knoll. The fissure at Windy Knoll is 

 described in detail, with notes on the physical geography of the dis- 

 trict. That at Gelly Dale communicates with a hollow in the lime- 

 stone, into which bones of bison, deer, wolf, bear, &c. had been washed. 

 The material filling the liollow is subaerial debris, not Glacial Drift. 

 Concludes with a notice of a fissure at Waterhouses, in Staftordshiro.
