gnawed bones of Rhinoce- 

 ros, Mammoth, and Horse, it 

 is not improbable that they 

 may have belonged to indi- 

 viduals whose carcasses were 

 introduced, as Dr. Buckland 

 conjecture'sMhose of Kirkdale 

 to have been, by the agency 

 of the Hyana spel&a. The 

 canine tooth (fig. 65) is ra- 

 ther smaller than the one in 

 the portion of the upper jaw ; 

 but, from the thickly coated 

 and solidified fang, a 5, this 

 tooth must have belonged to 

 an old Tiger. M. de Blainville 

 has figured a second and 

 third molar tooth of the Fells 

 speleea from Kent's Hole, on the 

 authority of Mr. Mac Enery.* 

 Fossil remains of the Felis 

 spelaa have been obtained from 

 the caves at Sandford Hill, 

 Hutton, Banwell, and Bleadon : 

 the most characteristic of these 

 is in the possession of the Rev. 

 D. Williams of Bleadon, Somerset. 



* M. de Blainville frequently cites a " Description of the Cavern of Kent's 

 Hole, Devonshire," which he supposes to have been published by Mr. Mac Enery, 

 but which he regrets that he has not been able to procure. I have been assured 

 by Dr. Buckland that Mr. Mac Enery never published such a work ; and it is 

 most probable that the drawings, or lithographic impressions, shewn by Mr. Mac 

 Enery to Professor De Blainville, were those designed to illustrate the forth- 

 coming second volume of the Rclitjuitt Diluviants.
