Describes some of the bone-caves of Poland and their contents. One 

 of the caves is known as the '^ Caverne du Mammouth," in consequence 

 of the abundant remains of the mammoth which it has yielded. It is 

 also rich in other Pleistocene mammals, and has yielded nearly 2000 

 implements. This cave is situated in the principal valley of Wierszchow. 

 Another bone-cave occurs in a lateral valley. The author maintains 

 that the caves of Poland afford evidence of three divisions of the stone 

 age. E. W. R.
