II. — On thk Cave of Castlepook, near Doneraile, Co. Cork.^ By 

 R. J. UssHER, H. J. Seymour, E. T. Newton, and R. F. Scharff. 



CASTLEPOOK Cave, north of Doneraile, leads into an extensive 

 series of deep parallel galleries in limestone. Most of them are 

 narrow, with vertical sides up to a certain level, where the walls 

 recede with a wide sweep, forming an arched tunnel. Near the top 

 of this the galleries are still spanned in places by an ancient stalagmite 

 floor. Some of the sand on which the latter was formed is still 

 adhering to it underneath. Beds of sand filled the lower parts of 

 many galleries. This sand contained, sometimes down to 12 feet, 

 numerous remains, chiefly of reindeer. 



The geological evidence as to the age of the cave is unsatisfactory. 

 Only rolled and imstriated pebbles have yet been discovered in the 

 cave and no foreign erratic. This would seem to indicate that the 

 material now in the cave, and hence the cave itself, is pre-Glacial 

 in age, for otherwise a pebble of the granite known to be widely
