Ossiferous Caves at TJphill. — Report of the Committee^ consisting of 

 Professor C. Lloyd Morgan (Chairman), Mr. H. Bolton 

 (Secretary), Professor W. Boyd Dawkins, Mr. W. R. Barker, 

 Mr. S. H. Reynolds, and Mr. E. T. Newton, appointed for the 

 purpose of excavating the Ossiferous Caves at Uphill, near Weston- 

 super-Mare. 



The Committee have to report that no further progress has been made 

 since last September. Quarrymen in the ordinary course of their duties 

 have continued to cut back the rock face for road material. The fissure 

 caves first excavated are now in large part destroyed, but little of interest 

 was found. Visits have been paid by the local members of the Committee 

 on several occasions in the hope of locating a new deposit, but none CQuld 

 be found to justify working. 



The chief find of interest during the year has been that of a badger 

 skull, in good condition. The badger is native to the country, the last 

 specimen in the Uphill district having been killed about twelve years ago. 

 The present skull seems, however, to have been contemporaneous with 

 the cave animals. 



A well developed tooth of Elephas and two portions of a fine tusk 

 were picked up by the quarrymen. 



Professor Reynolds has continued his examination of the cave material, 

 and will publish his observations later. 



The Committee, finding no site was promising enough to work, did not 

 draw the grant of 5^. made last year. The Committee do not ask for 

 reappointment.
