  Horse, 
  Reindeer, 
  

  

  Red 
  Deer, 
  and 
  Roe 
  Deer. 
  Flint 
  -flakes. 
  It 
  is 
  in 
  this 
  chamber 
  that 
  remains 
  

   of 
  the 
  Hvama 
  and 
  Elk 
  are 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  found. 
  

  

  E. 
  A 
  small 
  chamber, 
  usually 
  inaccessible. 
  It 
  did 
  not 
  afford 
  any 
  remains. 
  

  

  The 
  shaded 
  part 
  represents 
  undisturbed 
  stalagmite 
  of 
  considerable 
  thickness. 
  

  

  The 
  outer 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  cave 
  (A) 
  was 
  next 
  examined, 
  which 
  had 
  been 
  

   previously 
  explored 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Smith 
  ; 
  it 
  was 
  from 
  this 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  

   cave, 
  according 
  to 
  his 
  own 
  statement, 
  that 
  he 
  obtained 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  

   flint-flakes 
  in 
  his 
  collection. 
  In 
  this 
  part, 
  which 
  is 
  exposed 
  to 
  the 
  

   daylight, 
  and 
  which 
  had 
  already 
  been 
  disturbed 
  in 
  most 
  parts, 
  I 
  

   found 
  remains 
  of 
  the 
  Reindeer 
  (C. 
  tarandus), 
  Hog 
  (S. 
  scrofa), 
  Ox 
  

   (B. 
  loiujifrons), 
  with 
  bones 
  of 
  recent 
  animals, 
  human 
  bones, 
  and 
  

   flint-flakes. 
  These 
  flints 
  were 
  almost 
  all 
  obtained 
  from 
  the 
  left 
  

   branch 
  of 
  the 
  cave 
  («), 
  and 
  seemed 
  clearly 
  to 
  indicate 
  that 
  they 
  had 
  

   been 
  struck 
  off 
  by 
  some 
  one 
  standing 
  in 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  the 
  cave. 
  

   Among 
  these 
  chips 
  are 
  some 
  of 
  a 
  peculiar 
  green, 
  pellucid, 
  siliceous 
  

   stone, 
  quite 
  unknown 
  in 
  the 
  district 
  ; 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  singular 
  coin- 
  

   cidence 
  that 
  in 
  the 
  Tenby 
  Museum 
  there 
  lies 
  a 
  flake 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  

   material, 
  obtained 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Laws 
  from 
  the 
  adjacent 
  neolithic 
  cave 
  of 
  

   Longbury. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Hoyle, 
  about 
  ten 
  yards 
  from 
  the 
  entrance, 
  I 
  found 
  the
