Remains of the Lynx have so rarely been found in tlie Britisli 

 Isles, that the recent discovery of some in a Derbyshire cave will, 

 I hope, be considered to be worth recording. The history of the 

 two former finds maybe briefly stated. About the year 1866, the 

 hinder portion of a skull and the right ramus of the lower jaw of 

 this species were discovered in Pleasley Yale, on the borders of 

 Derbyshu'e and Nottinghamshhe, and are now in the Nottingham 

 University Museum. Some fourteen years later a hiunerus and a 

 metatarsal of the same species were found in Teesdale by the late 

 Mr. James Backhouse, and are still in his son's museum at York. 



Thus, until the Oales Dale cave was worked, only four bones of 

 Lynx had been found in the British Islands. I have been unable 

 to obtain any information about the excavation in Cales Dale 

 previous to 1897, but my own find there consists of 36 bones ard 

 teeth of Lynx, about half of this number being metaj)odials and 

 phalanges. 



The cave lies on the west side of Cales Dale, a small dale 

 branching fi'om the south side of Lathkil Dale, at a point about
