﻿CAVES 
  IN 
  THE 
  NEIGHBOURHOOD 
  OF 
  TENBY. 
  

  

  287 
  

  

  remains 
  of 
  a 
  " 
  hearth" 
  (<?), 
  consisting 
  of 
  fragments 
  of 
  charcoal 
  and 
  

   burnt 
  bones, 
  imbedded 
  in 
  the 
  stalagmite, 
  which 
  is 
  here 
  light 
  in 
  

   texture, 
  and 
  from 
  8 
  to 
  10 
  inches 
  in 
  thickness. 
  A 
  similar 
  hearth 
  

   was 
  discovered 
  in 
  the 
  above-mentioned 
  neolithic 
  cave 
  of 
  Longbury. 
  

  

  In 
  looking 
  at 
  these 
  remains 
  we 
  cannot 
  fail 
  to 
  notice 
  the 
  marked 
  

   contrast 
  between 
  this 
  fauna 
  on 
  the 
  one 
  hand, 
  and 
  that 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  

   palaeolithic 
  caves 
  of 
  the 
  district 
  on 
  the 
  other. 
  

  

  The 
  remains 
  of 
  the 
  Hyaena 
  have 
  been 
  alleged 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  

   cave; 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  never 
  seen 
  any 
  remains 
  whatever 
  of 
  that 
  creature 
  

   in 
  any 
  collection 
  from 
  the 
  Hoyle 
  ; 
  the 
  two 
  gnawed 
  bones, 
  already 
  

   referred 
  to, 
  may 
  not 
  necessarily 
  have 
  been 
  gnawed 
  by 
  the 
  Hyaena. 
  

   The 
  remains 
  of 
  the 
  Irish 
  Elk 
  are 
  any 
  thing 
  but 
  reliable. 
  The 
  Cave- 
  

   Bear 
  ( 
  U. 
  spelceus) 
  is 
  absent, 
  though 
  the 
  Brown 
  Bear 
  is 
  abundant. 
  The 
  

   bones 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  from 
  the 
  Hoyle 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  Coygan, 
  when 
  

   placed 
  side 
  by 
  side, 
  are 
  to 
  the 
  most 
  uninitiated 
  decidedly 
  those 
  of 
  

   different 
  species. 
  The 
  Mammoth, 
  Khinoceros, 
  and 
  Hippopotamus 
  are 
  

   wanting. 
  

  

  TThile 
  this 
  striking 
  contrast 
  is 
  observed 
  between 
  the 
  remains 
  

   found 
  in 
  the 
  Hoyle 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  palaeolithic 
  caves 
  of 
  the 
  distriot, 
  an 
  

   equally 
  notable 
  resemblance 
  is 
  observed 
  between 
  these 
  remains 
  and 
  

   those 
  afforded 
  by 
  the 
  neolithic 
  cave 
  at 
  Longbury. 
  The 
  similarity 
  

   will 
  be 
  seen 
  by 
  reference 
  to

  list.
