4. At Clifton Hall. 

 In Ireland, remains of the Mammoth have been found in lacustrine deposits at 

 Bklturbet in Cavan. 



In Antrim, at Corncastle, "marine deposit."^ 



In Waterford, near Whitechurch (somewhat doubtful).'' 



2. Caverns. 



The following caverns have produced remains of the Mammoth. 



Devonshire, Kent's Cavern (B. M., and Mus. Torquay), Oreston (B. M.)., 

 Beach Cave (Sanford), Brixham (Busk). 



Somerset, in Hutton Cave and a Cavern, near Wells (B. M.), Wookey Hole 

 (B. M.), Bleadon Cave (Falconer), Box Hill, near Bath (Dawkins), Durdham Down 

 (Falconer), Sandford Hill (Dawkins). 



Kent, in Boughton Cave near Maidstone (B. M., and Mus. Geol. Soc).

3. Submarine and Littoral Deposits. 



The coast-line and bed of the German Ocean, extending along the shores of Norfolk 

 and Suffolk, and especially the well-known locality where the so-called " Forest Bed " is 

 traced, presents remarkably interesting features with reference to the range of the 

 Mammoth in Time. 



This subject has been discussed by Falconer and Dawkins ; the latter, in an exhaustive 

 memoir,^ shows that the teeth and bones said to have been derived from the Forest Bed 

 had never been found in situ, and this view is still maintained by the Rev. J. Gunn, F.G.S., 

 who has informed me that his latest experiences give him no cause to alter his views on 

 that head. Molars of the Mammoth have been found on the Norfolk coast, either at low 

 water, or dredged, either alone or with teeth of U. antiquus and E. meridionalis. However, 

 all the three have been discovered encrusted with the same description of matrix which 

 forms a component of the Forest Bed. At the same time, as pointed out by Gunn, 

 Dawkins, Clement Reid, and others, precisely the same mineral characters prevail in 

 beds which overlie glacial deposits in the above situation ; therefore the evidence of the
