dig-its, and there is evidence of a membrane between the toes. 

 There is a wide separation between the right and left sides, 

 the separation being- more marked in the fore than in the 

 hinder footprints. The prints present some resemblance to 

 those named /c/niiiim (tcrodactvlnm^ from the upper Permian 

 of Thuring-ia. The footprints are evidently of an Amphibian 

 allied to those recorded from the Permian on the continent. 



A YORKSHIRE C.WK RKLIC. 



In part 3 of the ' Bradford Scientific Journal,' which we have 

 only just seen, is a note by Mr. VV. Cud worth on a Unique 

 Yorkshire Cave Implement. This was found by the Rev, E. 

 Jones in Calf Hole Cave, in Upper Wharfedale, and was 

 associated with bones of bison and reindeer. The haft of the 

 implement is made from the antler of a reindeer, in which is

inserted (according- to Prof. Dawkins) a very large boar's incisor. 

 The total length of this, the ' very oldest British Tool known, '^ 

 is a little over seven inches. As will be seen from the block, 

 which has been kindly loaned by the Bradford Society, the haft 

 of the implement is perforated, the orifice being about an inch 

 in diameter. Whilst the object was at the Manchester Museum 

 a plaster cast was niade, which is fortunate, as on its wav home 

 the tool was 'lost' -stolen, we believe. Though this is some 

 years ago, it is hoped that tlic ol^jfct may yet exist. Should any 

 of our readers see it at any lime, we trust they will advise us. 

 A plaster cast has been placed in the archieological section of 

 the I lull Museum.
