Brief references were made to the fauna of the 

 cave in its relation to the effects of environment 

 in the origin of species. Physical and geological 

 phenomena were discussed including the move- 

 ments of air currents, origin of calcium nitrate, 

 deposits ©f calcium carbonate and gypsum 

 rosettes.
