Fig. 2. — Transverse Section in the Antrum of Woohey Hole. 



a. Roof. 



b. Red earth, containing a large quantity of stones, and but 



few organic remains, 2 feet in thickness, and extending 

 within 1 or 2 inches of the roof. 



c. Red earth, with irregular layers of album grsecuni and 



peroxide of manganese, and containing the Elephant's 

 tusk, together with teeth, and numerous splinters of 

 bone ; 7 to 8 inches. 



d. Red earth, containing stones and a few organic remains ; 



4> feet. 



e. Floor, woi*n by water and corroded by carbonic acid. 



On the right-hand side of the cave we found some more imple- 

 ments, at the spot marked c in fig. 1, underlying layers of peroxide 

 of manganese and comminuted bone, as in the case of those which I 

 described in my former paper.

The longitudinal section (fig. 3), taken along the line marked 3 — 3 

 in the ground-plan (fig. 1), shows the relation which the flints of 

 area c held to the contents of the cave — the scattered bones and 

 stones, — the complete filling-up of the cave to its roof, and the 

 change in the colour of the sediment in, and the absence of organic 

 remains from, the vertical passage F, described in my former paper. 



We had now cleared out every portion of the antrum except that 

 between A and F, and had found that the contents extended up to 

 the roof everywhere except in this latter localit)', where there was 

 an interval of from three to four inches. This interval was traversed 

 by stalactites, which formed in some places a smooth undulating- 

 drapery with stony tassels, in others miniature pillars extending 

 down to the debris and, as it were, propping up the roof. Their 

 pedestals, as they gradually expanded upon the debris, formed round 

 plates of stalagmite, and, where they met, became a continuous
