1. Remains of raptorial bird (recent). Obtained from Cave No. V. at Jambusan. 



Found on the surface of the earth, at the bottom of the deep pit at the 

 farther end. 



2. Molar tooth and fragment of bone. Purchased from Chinese gold-washer. 



Found in the swampy flat of alluvium, debris of limestone, stalagmite, 

 and veinstones, &c, which skirts the south-east base of the Busan hills 

 between them and the village of Paku. 

 3, 4, 5. Teeth procured at different times by Chinese washing for gold in the same 

 situations as No. 2. All purchased. 



6. Portion of jaw with teeth, apparently of wild hog, procured from the silt at 



the mouth of Cave No. VI. Originally brought from the interior when 

 the cave was examined for gold.

Chinese gold- washer, and found in the same locality as No. 7. 



9. Human remains. Procured from Cave No. II. at Paku. Collected by 



myself. (See Report.) 

 10. Remains of wild hog, apparently. Purchased from a Dyak, who stated that 

 they were found far within a cavern too contracted to allow of the passage 

 of a living pig, if it could have climbed the precipitous hill half-way up 

 which the cave opened, which he thought impossible. Being dissatisfied 

 with the price paid, he refused to show this cave.

washing the earth in Cave No. III. Cave visited by myself. (See Report.)

up on one of the hills near the Tagora road — Cave No. IX. The bones
