ON KENT’S CAVERN, DEVONSHIRE. 13 
No. 6375 is a large rude flake of a very rough flint nodule, which has 
undergone sufficient metamorphosis to produce a granular texture and render 
it capable of being scratched with a knife, but without any marked loss of 
weight. Its form is rudely quadrilateral with the angles rounded off. The 
inuver face displays the ‘bulb of percussion” near the truncated butt-end, 
but elsewhere has a tendency to flatness. The outer face retains a large 
portion of the original surface of the nodule. It is 4:25 inches long, 
3 inches broad, 1-5 inch in greatest thickness, and was found in the fourth 
or lowest foot-level, with 2 teeth of Bear and a small flint pebble, March 3, 
1874. 
No. 6388 is a bluish-grey flint of somewhat coarse texture, 2 inches long, 
-7 inch broad at the truncated butt-end, whence it tapers toa point at the 
other, -4 inch in greatest thickness, slightly concave on one face and very 
strongly ridged on the other. It was found, with 2 teeth of Bear and frag- 
ments of bone, in the second foot-level, March 17, 1874. 
No. 6392, an irregularly shaped flake or chip of pinkish drab chert, 
2-2 inches long, 1:8 inch broad, and °3 inch in greatest thickness, was 
1 without any other object of interest, in the third foot-level, March 25, 
1874, 
No. 6396 is a subtriangular flake of coarse chert, 1-8 inch long, 1-1 inch 
in greatest breadth, -4 inch in greatest thickness, nearly flat on one face 
and has a strong curvilineal ridge on the other. It was found, with frag- 
ments of bone, in the first foot-level, March 31, 1874. 
No. 6455 is a small specimen, or rather a portion of one, it having been 
broken in extracting it from the matrix. It is ‘9 inch long, scarcely 
*5 inch broad, and -2 inch in thickness, which it retains to each of its 
lateral margins. -It was found, with fragments of bone, in the fourth 
foot-level, June 19, 1874. 
Clinnick’s Gallery.—As already stated, the Long Arcade throws off a 
lateral branch at its inner extremity, at its junction with the Cave of 
Inscriptions and in the right wall. Its principal entrance is about 225 feet 
from the mouth of the Arcade. It was left entirely untouched by Mr. Mac- 
Enery; but in 1846 the Torquay Natural-History Society appointed a 
Committee of three of its Members, including the two Superintendents of 
the present work, to make some very limited researches in the Cavern. 
That Committee broke ground in three different places, and found flint 
implements in each. One of the spots selected was the smaller or innermost 
of the two mouths of this Gallery, immediately behind the Inscribed Boss of 
Stalagmite. Mr. Vivian, speaking of the flint tool found there, says, “In 
the spot where the most highly finished specimen was found the passage was 
so low that it was extremely difficult, with quarrymen’s tools and good 
workmen, to break through the crust; and the supposition that it had 
been previously disturbed is impossible’*. The specimens found during 
those researches are now in the Museum of the Torquay Natural-History 
Society. y 
The work on that occasion was performed as in all previous cases: the 
excavated materials were examined by candlelight as they were dug out, 
and then thrown on one side, but not taken out of the Cavern to be re-
