232 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE.—1914, 
of the different layers may establish some sort of sequence in their 
forms. When the recess on the eastern side was reached the height 
of the implementiferous soil amounted to as much as twelve feet above 
the point taken to represent floor-level. At the very top of this bed 
were found three mammoth teeth and a large number of well-made 
implements. It is even possible to distinguish these highest portions 
as a third stratum, since in one place the top of the layer immediately 
above the sterile bed already mentioned was marked for about six feet 
by a thin line of almost pure sand. This sand was not such as might 
result from disintegration of the local rock, and its occurrence almost 
suggested that the inhabitants of the cave must at one time have 
indulged in the luxury of a sanded floor. This line of sand stood at 
about six feet above floor-level. 
Osteological Remains. 
At least 5,000 portions of bone, mostly very fragmentary, were 
discovered. It has been found possible only to submit these to the 
roughest preliminary examination. Dr. Andrews reports as follows 
on the selection of bones submitted to him at the British Museum :— 
Hyena Crocuta, var. Spelea.—Portions of premolar teeth. 
Canis Vulpes.—Maxilla. 
Cervus Megaceros (Irish Elk)—Unworn upper molar, fragment 
of mandible with molars. 
Cervus Hlaphus (Red Deer).—Portions of jaw, with teeth. 
Rangifer tarandus (Reindeer).—Numerous teeth, bones, and pieces 
of antler. 
? Capreolus Caprea (Roe deer).—A tooth. 
Goat or Sheep.—A tooth. 
Bos primigenius.—Fragments of bones and teeth. 
Equus.—Numerous teeth of a horse. The teeth are large, but it 
does not follow that the horse was. 
Elephas primigenius (Mammoth).—Portions of a thin plated tooth. 
Myodes torquatus (Arctic lemming).—Numerous lower jaws and 
bones. 
A metatarsus of some species of Grouse. 
This brings up the list of species (exclusive of varieties as in the 
case of Hquide and Bovide) from six to thirteen, Rhinoceros ticho- 
rhinus having been found on previous occasions, and yields what may 
be described as a thoroughly representative Pleistocene fauna of the 
cold, or tundra, type. 
Artefacts. 
The amount of worked flint unearthed in the course of the recent 
excavation proved simply immense, over 3 cwt. of implements and 
chips (including hammer stones) having been extracted. It must be 
remembered that flint is not found in situ in the Channel Islands, so 
that it is perfectly certzin that all flint found in the cave has been 
brought there by man. It is impossible briefly to convey an impres- 
sion of the full extent of the material awaiting detailed study. This 
site will assuredly bear comparison with any other Mousterian site as
