COLLECTIONS FROM KENTUCKY. 



A small collection of ancient relics, obtained from caves in the vi- 

 cinity of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, was presented to the Bureau by 

 Mr. Francis Klett. 



With this collection were a number of articles of stone, some of which 

 were probably obtained from the fields of the same region.
