15. On some Bone- and Cave-deposits of the Reindeer-period in the 
south of France ; by Mr. Joun Evans, F.R.S.—The deposits to which 
the author particularly called attention in this paper are those which 
have been, and are still being, explored under the direction of Mr. Lartet 
and Mr. Christy, and which were visited by him under the guidance o 
. Hamilton, Professor Ru- 
pert Jones, Captain Galton, Mr. Lubboek and Mr. Franks. Mr. Evans 
, of the same species from all the caverns. The 
author then discussed the antiquity of the deposits according to four 
Methods of inquiry—namely, from geological considerations with regard 
ence of the remains found in them, from the archeological character of 
the objects of human workmanship, and from a comparison with similar 
deposits in neighboring districts in France; and he came to the conclu- 
cumstances under which these discoveries were made; and states that 
1¢ contemporaneity of the human remains with those of the extinct and 
other animals with which they are associated together with the flint and 
fone implements is shown by the evidences of the plastic condition of 
calcified mud
