The last column in the above Table represents the species found by Mr. Mello 

 in 1875. 



B. Palaeolithic Man. 



Human implements of various sorts were met with in intimate 

 association with the fossil animals in all the deposits under the 

 stalagmite ; and large quantities of broken bones testified to 

 the presence of Man, just as the gnawed bones proved that of the 

 Hyaenas in the cave. In the strata above the Red Sand there were 

 fragments of charcoal and of calcined bone. 



As may be seen from the following Table of distribution of works 

 of Man, there is the same distinction to be observed here as in the 

 llobin-Hood Cave between the implements of the upper and lower 

 strata. From the former were obtained all the implements of bone, 

 antler, and flint ; while in the latter we only discovered a few imple- 

 ments of the rudest kind, made of quartzitc. 



Articles of Bone and Antler. — The articles made of bone are as 

 follows : — 



1. A well-shaped needle (fig. 4), absolutely perfect, made out of a 

 metacarpal or tarsal bone of a ruminant, and larger than any of 

 those figured from the palaeolithic caves of France, Belgium, or 

 Switzerland.
