TRACES OF MAN FOUND IN THE ROBIN-HOOD CAVE. 249 



Order ARTIODACTYLA. 

 Suborder Rtjminantia. 



Irish Elk and Reindeer. — The alveolar portion of trie lower jaw, 

 a fragment of a metacarpal, and two molars belong to the Irish Elk, 

 while numerous antlers, some shed, and others torn from the head, 

 teeth, and gnawed bones may be referred to the Reindeer. It is 

 worthy of remark that all these remains are those of adults. 



Bison. — Of the Bison it need only be remarked that the remains 

 fall within the limits of measurement of those from Windy Knoll 

 (Q. J. G. S. vol. xxxi. 1875, p. 247). Some of the long bones 

 belong to young animals. 



Suborder Non-Rttminantia. 



Wild Boar. — A small fragment of jaw containing the first three 

 premolars proves that the Wild Boar also lived in the district during 

 the time of the accumulation of the breccia. 



Order PERISSODACTYLA. 



The Horse and Woolly Rhinoceros. — The teeth and the bones of 

 Horses prove that the adults were here with their foals : and this 

 may also be observed of the Woolly Rhinoceroses, the milk-teeth of 

 which amounted to 19, or very nearly one third of the total number 

 of teeth of that animal in the cave. All the long bones are gnawed 

 to the usual patterns (see ' Cave-hunting,' p. 314 et seq.). The humeri 

 have been docked of their proximal, the ulnae of their distal ends, 

 while the radii, femora, and tibiae are represented merely by the 

 stout middle portion of the shaft ; and in all, the nutriment stored in 

 the cancellous portion of the interior of the bones has been scooped 

 out by the jaws and tongues of the Hyaenas. 



Order PROBOSCIDEA. 



Mammoth. — Five out of the six molars of Mammoth belong to 

 the milk-series, and three of them are dm 2. The true molar is a 

 stump worn down to the fangs. There are also fragments of tusks 

 and of bones. 



Order RODENTIA. 



Hie Hare. — The split and broken bones of the Hare were very 

 abundant in the breccia ; and that animal had formed the principal 

 food of the inhabitants during the time of its accumulation. All 

 the long bones had been split for the sake of their contents. There 

 are also numerous jaws and teeth of Arvicola. 



10. Traces of Man in the Cave. 

 The traces of Man found in the cave in association with the 

 extinct mammalia, consist of fragments of charcoal, and implements 

 of antler and mammoth-tooth, of quartzite, ironstone, greenstone, 

 and of flint. 



11. Implements of Antler and Mammoth-tooth. 

 An awl, pin, or possibly a lance-head, has been fashioned out of
