Pengelly, W. The Cavern discovered in 1858 in Windmill Hill, Brix- 

 ham, South Devon. Trans. Devon. Assoc, vol. vi. part 2, pp. 775- 

 856. 5 plates [plans, views, and sections]. 

 The exploration of Windmill-Hill Cavern was begun in 1859 ; but, 

 owing to the illness and death of Dr. Falconer, the report on the work- 

 ings, which had been prepared by Mr. Pengelly, was delayed until 1872. 

 This report consisted of three parts — the first being historical, topo- 

 graphical, and geological, the second descriptive of the results of the 

 exploration, and the third theoretical. 



The essential portions of the first part, and, with slight modifications, 

 the whole of the second, have been incorporated by Mr. Prestwich in a 

 general report, read before the Royal Society (printed in Phil. Trans, 

 vol. clxiii. pt. ii.), whilst the third part was not adopted, though the 

 views contained in it were discussed with others. The original report 

 is now published in full, and contains : — inferences as to the origin of 

 the cavern ; the relative chronology of the periods represented by the 

 several deposits ; the character of the action of the water, with the mode 

 of its ingress and egress ; the relative level of land and sea during the 

 Cavern era ; conclusions as to the antiquity of the cave-men, and 

 proofs of their being contemporary with the mammoth, reindeer, and 

 rhinoceros. T. M. H. 



Pennington, R. On the Ossiferous Deposit at Windy Knoll, near 

 Castleton. Trans. Lit. & Phil. Soc. Manchester, vol. xiv. pp. 1-5. 

 Bones and teeth of bison, reindeer, bears, and wolves occurred in 

 great abundance in a basin behind a fissure leading from a limestone- 

 quarry, between two ranges, Millstone Grit and Yoredale Hills. The 

 drainage flows into swallow-holes, and ultimately into the Trent. Mr. 

 Dawkins stated that the hare, rabbit, and water-rat were also present.
