The 39 bones of rabbit in layer No. 9 probably all belonged to one animal. 



Although traces of Hycena were found in each of the three 

 groups, the forty-three coprolites of that animal were confined to 

 the uppermost group (Nos. 1-9), and five out of these were 

 obtained in the swallow-hole. 



The Pleistocene age of this assemblage of the mammalian remains 

 we take to be abundantly proved by the presence of such forms as 

 Elephas antiquus, Rhinoceros leptorhinus, Hycena, and lion. The only 

 form that has not hitherto been regarded as a Pleistocene species is 

 the fallow-deer, which, for reasons given elsewhere in this paper, 

 we are now disposed to include in the British Pleistocene fauna (see 

 pp. 52-53 & 61). It is probable that the clay and sand (Beds 12-15) 

 are of more ancient origin, but in so far as they could be examined 

 they yielded nothing to indicate their age. 



As there are many duplicates of most of the species, it is hoped 

 that a typical series will be placed in the Museums of Derby and 

 Buxton respectively, and in the Museum of Practical Geology, 

 Jenny n Street, London.
