Caves at Uphill.—Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor 
C. Lioyp Morean (Chairman), Professor W. Boyp Dawkins, 
Mr. W. R. Barker, Mr. T. H. Reynoutps, Mr. E. T. Newton, 
and Mr. H. Bouton (Secretary), appointed to excavate the 
Ossiferous Caves at Uphill, near Weston-super-Mare. 
TuE Committee report that a large cave was opened and explored for 
some distance, but being unproductive was abandoned. A second cave 
was opened, and has been traced fora distance of 23 feet, when it opens 
upon a rock ledge somewhat similar in character to a rock shelter. 
Fragments of mammalian bones, gnawed bones, hammer stones, and 
pot-boilers have been found, together with the long bones of birds and 
small mammals, which from their shape would seem to have been used as 
pins or borers. 
At 7 feet from the entrance of the second cave a piece of black Roman 
pottery was found. ‘The material ‘shows abundant traces of water action, 
and would seem to have been carried from the rock shelter into the cave, 
and to have also come from higher levels, a search for which is now being 
made
