DISCOVERIES IN THE CRESSWELL CAVES, Til 
Towards the back of chamber A the strata thinned out rapidly 
and were so unproductive that we thought it advisable to leave it 
unexplored, and turn to what proved to be the mouth of Chamber B 
(fig. 1). 
Tue Exproration or CoamBer B, 
The Red Sandy Cave-carth—The deposits in Chamber B filled it 
up to the roof, and consisted of the strata previously described, with 
the exception of the surface-soil (No. 5) and the ferruginous sand 
No. 2). 
The red sandy cave-earth (see figs. 5, 6, & 7, No. 4) had been 
disturbed here asin chamber A; it contained bones and teeth of Bison, 
Reindeer, Hyzena, and Bear. At a distance of 19 feet 6 inches from 
the entrance, and on the north side, a human skull was met with, in 
a small recess in the wall, at a depth of 2 feet 9 inches from the sur- 
face, here in contact with the roof. Close to it, and above it, were 
the vertebra of a bison and a quartzite splinter. It is, however, in 
spite of this evidence, in all probability, as we shall see presently, 
of a later age than the associated Pleistocene remains.

The Red Clay.—The red clay (No. 3) as it passed into chamber B 
gradually increased in thickness, attaining a maximum of 3 feet 
3 inches at the further end. It was very stiffand contained the re- 
mains of Hyena, Bison, Hippopotamus, and Rhinoceros leptorhinus, 
but no implements. It rested immediately on the unfossiliferous
