several animals. This discovery was published in the C. R. Acad. 

 Sci. Paris (vol. clvii, p. 6(55), and some account of it, with several 

 figures, appeared in the ' Illustrated London News ' for November 

 1st, 1913. 



The upper part of the deposit is referred to the Neolithic and 

 Magdalenian ages : but below this, at a depth of 6| feet, a bed 

 (10 inches thick) was found, which yielded the incised drawings 

 mentioned above, as well as numerous mammalian remains and 

 flint-implements ; and this is regarded as of Aurignacian age. 

 Immediately below the last-mentioned bed a deposit of sand and 

 small rock-fragments was penetrated to a depth of 10 feet, 

 and this deposit, also referred to the Aurignacian, was found to 

 contain an enormous number of bones of small mammals and other 

 animals. Some twenty species have already been recognized by 

 the discoverers. 



The large number of small bones now shown were obtained by 

 the exhibitor in sifting about 1 cubic foot of this lower, remarkably 

 prolific, deposit, which had been sent to him by Dr. Lucien Mayet, 

 of Lyons. t
