The cauldron was found at Cape Castle, in a solid bank of turf 9 feet 



below the surface. This does not represent the amount of peat originally 



superimposed ; for the bog has been used for fuel. The wooden dish was 



got in Ballykenver Bog, near Armoy, in solid peat 5 feet below the 



surface ; but in this case also the bog has been used. E. T. H,

The human remains were found associated not only with bones of 



the mammoth, lion, and reindeer, both sculptured and untouched, but 



also with implements which suggest to the authors that we have 



evidence (for the first time in these regions) of the passage from the 



age of flaked to that of polished stone. The human bones have aU the 



characters shown by the Cro-Magnon man. G. A. L.
