ROCK-FISSURE CAVERN IN CRESWELL CRAGS. 691 



IV. Order PROBOSCIDEA. 



1. Elephas. 

 1. Elephas primigenius. 



1. This species is clearly indicated by a nearly entire upper molar, 

 having a transverse diameter of 1*25 inch and containing four plates 

 in a length of 1*2 inch = 0*3 for each plate. The characters are 

 clearly those of the Mammoth. 



2. A large fragment of a long bone, most probably elephantine, 

 and some smaller and more doubtful pieces. 



3. Besides the above remains of Elephant, Mr, Mello has a second, 

 small molar tooth which I have not had an opportunity of exa- 

 mining, but which, from a photographic figure, would appear to 

 exhibit the character of E. antiquus, from the thickness and smaller 

 number (8-9) of the plates. 



Discussion. 



Prof. Busk made some observations on the Mammalian remains 

 exhibited by Mr. Mello. These are embodied in the preceding 

 Appendix. 



Dr. Ogier Ward mentioned the occurrence of similar bones in 

 well-sinking at Eastbourne. 



Mr. Evans remarked that we have in these fissures bones ex- 

 tending from Roman times far back, and expressed a hope that 

 Mr. Mello would be able to distinguish those belonging to different 

 periods. The general facies of the flint implements was neolithic. 



Mr. Mello stated that the implements were all found near the 

 surface.
