white sand (No. 1). At the far end of the chamber blocks of lime- 
stone were imbedded in the clay, and between these many bones of 
Bison were firmly wedged, which were extracted with considerable 
difficulty. The total thickness of the deposits in chamber B varied from 
about 9 feet near the entrance to 5 feet at the end (figs. 6 & 7).

RELATION OF THESE DEPOSITS TO THOSE IN THE OTHER CAVES AT 
CRESSWELL. 
On comparing the above strata with those previously explored in 
the Cresswell Crags, it is obvious that we must correlate them with 
the earlier rather than with the later series. The breccia and the 
upper cave-earth of the Robin-Hood and the Church-Hole caves, 
with their highly finished suite of palseolithic implements and nu- 
merous bones gnawed by hyzenas or crushed by man, are conspicu- 
ous by their absence. When, however, we compare the red sandy 
cave-earth, No. 4, of Mother Grundy’s Parlour with the red sand 
underlying the caye-earth in the two above-mentioned caverns, 
they will be seen to belong to the same stage in the history of 
the caves of the district. The few rude quartzite tools, and the 
numerous bones of animals, remarkably perfect and free from the 
gnawing of hyenas, are to be noted in both. It must, however, be
