foregoing list not only neither Sheep nor Pig, but neither Badger, Rabbit, 

 Hare, nor Vole, all of which have been found in other branches, in deposits 

 accessible to buiTowing animals. 



In the Cave-earth there wez-e also found 52 flint implements, flakes, and 

 chips, — 3 of them in the fii'st or uppermost foot-level, 16 in the second, 15 in 

 the third, and 18 in the fourth or lowest. Though none of them are equal 

 to the best the Cavern has yielded in previous years, there are some good 

 lanceolate implements amongst them. 



No. 3693 is of light broAvn translucent flint> 1'85 inch in length, '9 inch in 

 greatest breadth, -175 inch in greatest thickness, nearly flat on one side, and 

 carinated on the other. It vras found with a few bones in the first foot- 

 level, amongst loose stones, where there was no Stalagmitic Floor over it ; 

 hence it may be doubted whether it belongs to the Palffiohthic series — a doubt 

 strengthened by the modern aspect of the implement. 



No. 3754, of the usual white flint, is 4-2 inches long, -9 inch in greatest 

 j^ -N breadth, -3 inch in -greatest thickness, both longitudinally and transversely 

 ^ ■ ' concave on one side, has a medial ridge on the other, from which, at about 

 an inch from one end, a second ridge proceeds, and has a thin but uneven 

 edge. It was probably pointed at each end, but has unfortunately been 

 broken at one of them. It was found on March the 6th, 1871, in the second 

 foot-level, with splinters of bone, beneath a Stalagmitic Floor 18 inches 

 thick. 



No. 5430, also of white flint, is Somewhat irregular in form, but may be 

 termed rudely lanceolate; it is 2*7 inches in length, 1-5 inch in extreme 

 breadth, -3 inch in greatest thickness, slightly concave on one face and ir- 

 regularly convex on the other. It was found on March 30th, 1871, with 2 

 teeth of Horse, 1 of Hyasna, and fragments of bone, in the second " foot- 

 level," withont any Stalagmitic Floor over it. 

 ^ No. 3732, a whitish flint, is 2-3 inches long, 1-1 inch in breadth, which is 



N nearly uniform from end to end, slightly concave on one face, convex on the 

 other, on which there are three slight, parallel, longitudinal ridges, sharply 

 truncated at both ends, but primarily thin at the sides. It was found on 

 February 27th, 1871, in the third " foot-level," with a tooth of Hyaena and 

 fragments of bone, without any Stalagmitic Floor over it. 

 .17 o,. j^Q 5435^ a slightly mottled white flint, is 2-1 inches long, 1-1 inch broad, 

 •4 inch in greatest thickness, flat on one face, strongly ridged on the other, 

 abruptly truncated at one end, but thin everywhere else, and retains its width 

 almost to the opposite end, which is bluntly rounded. It was found on 31st 

 March, 1871, with a portion of Deer's jaw and fragments of bone, in the 

 third " foot-level," beneath a Stalagmitic Floor, 2 feet thick. 



No. 3687, a mottled flint with white prevailing, is 2-6 inches long, 1-2 

 inch in greatest breadth, -3 inch in greatest thickness, broadest near the 

 middle, whence it tapers in both directions, somewhat pointed at one end 

 but not at the other, nearly flat on one face and convex on the other, on 

 which there are two ridges — one subcentral and the other nearly marginal. 

 It was found on February 7th, 1871, in the fourth or lowest foot-level, with 

 1 tooth of Horse, 1 of Hyaena, and a fragment of bone, without any Stalag- 

 mitic Floor over it. 



No. 5475 so closely resembles No. 3732, mentioned above, jis to need no 

 further description. It was found February 27th, 1871, with 1 tooth of Hyaena 

 and fragments of bone, in the fourth " foot-level," but had no Stalagmitic 

 Floor over it. 



In this connexion may be mentioned a piece of calcareous spar, which
