2 26 Notes and Comments. 



He left Malton in 1895, with his wife and family, for New 

 Zealand, to resume the occupation of sheep-farming, in which 

 he had been engaged there as a young man in the early sixties. 

 He apparently prospered well in New Zealand, until i8th March 

 last, when he died suddenly, of heart disease, at the age of 58. 

 The following extract from a recent New Zealand newspaper 

 shows that he continued to do good work after leaving 

 England : — 



'The mortal remains of the late Mr. S. Chadwick, J. P., 

 were interred in the Ormondville Cemetery on the 21st March, 

 in the presence of a large concourse of people, who thus certified 

 to the very high esteem in which deceased was held by his 

 fellow-men. . . . He was the originator of the scheme for 

 establishing the Waikopiro Institute and Library, of which he 

 was president and trustee. In educational matters he was also 

 to the fore, as through his indefatigable zeal the Education 

 Board was induced to establish the Whitukura Public School, 

 Mr. Chadwick holding the chairmanship of the committee. 

 His energies were also moved in the direction of obtaining for 

 the Waikopiro settlers good roads ; and what great improve- 

 ments have been made in that direction the settlers well 

 know. . . . He was the right stamp of a settler, and his 

 name will for ever be kept green in the annals of the history 

 of Waikopiro.' 



For much of the above facts the writer is indebted to 

 Chadwick's life-long friend, Mr. M. B. Slater, F.L.S. T. S. 



CAVE REMAINS IN DERBYSHIRE. 

 Professor W. Boyd Dawkins has just described* a collection 

 of mammalian remains from a cavern near Doveholes, Derby- 

 shire, which is of exceptional importance. The cave was first 

 discovered in 1901, and was fully exposed in 1902, and consisted 

 of a large chamber and a small passage, both being eroded in 

 a master joint in the Carboniferous Limestone. The cave was 

 filled with stratified yellowish red clay, mixed with pebbles of 

 quartz, etc. Scattered here and there in the mass were 

 mammalian bones and teeth, some worn and in the condition 

 of pebbles, others unworn and with sharp fractures. These 

 include bones of Machairodus crenatidens, Hycenci, Mastodon 

 arvernensis, Elephas mcridionalis. Rhinoceros etruscus, Equus 

 Stenonsis, and Cervus etueriarujn (?). The discovery has added 

 one species [Machairodus crenatidens) to the Upper Pliocene
