Kesh Caves, co. 8Ugo. — Beport of the Committee, consisting o/Dr. R. F. 

 ScHARFF {Chairman), Mr. R. Ll. Praeger {Secretary), Mr. G. 

 Coffey, Professor (J. A. J. Cole, Professor D. J. Cunningham, 

 Mr. G. W. Lamplugh, Mr. A. McHenry, and Mr. R. J. Ussher, 

 appointed to explore Irish Caves. (Drawn up hy the Chairman.) 



The Committee submitted to the Association a short interim report on 

 the Sligo caves last year. The renewed grant received at Glasgow has 

 enabled them to continue the excavations at Kesh, and to open several 

 new caves near Ennis in county Clare. 



The following report on the Kesh caves is in the main by Mr. E. J. 

 Ussher, who has been in charge of the operations, and who has devoted 

 many weeks with most painstaking industry to this work. Professor Cole 

 and Mr. Lamplugh, the latter having joined the Committee since the 

 Glasgow Meeting, have incorporated some interesting remarks on the 

 geological aspects of the excavations, while Mr. G. CoflFey has furnished 

 the descriptions of the human implements found in the caves. I myself 

 have undertaken the determination of the mammalian remains, and I 

 have to acknowledge the very kind assistance of Dr. Forsyth Major and 

 Mr. E. T. Newton in naming some of the more critical bones, while 

 Professor Stewart and Mr. O. Thomas gave me every facility to consult 

 the collections in their charge. Mr. E. T. Newton has undertaken the 

 determination of the numerous bird remains, and Messrs. Kennard and 

 Woodward are preparing a report on the land mollusca. 



In the tabular statement at the end I have given a list of all the 

 species of mammalia whose remains were discovered. The queries indicate 

 that, although the species occurred in the layers marked, the fragmentary 

 character of the remains was suggestive of their having accidentally 

 dropped into that particular layer.
