especially in a recess on the face of the cliff near the cave’s mouth.

floor of the cave at one spot near the inner wall.

the cave. About half way in from the mouth, and at ten feet above the

In regard to the theory of the various conditions observed in the Mac- 
mone Cave, the author considers that it has undergone several changes 
of level, and that the accumulation of bone-breccia below and outside 1s 
referrable to a period when the cave was scarcely above the level of the 
sea. Dr, Falconer points out the significance of the fact, that a 
coprolites of Hyane were so abundant against the roof and outside, none, 
or but very few, of the bones of Hyznas were observed in the interior.
