DISCOVERIES IN THE CRESSWELL CAVES. 735 
associated with a similar series of animals to those found at Bar- 
rington. 
Mr. Cattarp said that the men who made the carvings on bone 
were evidently Neolithic, or still more recent, and Zthinoceros ticho- 
rhinus had survived them ; for its remains were found in the stalag- 
mite above them. 
Rey. J. Macrns Metto stated that he agreed with what Prof. 
Dawkins had said about the human skulls. One was found in a 
chamber where it was hardly possible man would have got in the 
Paleolithic times. He replied to Mr. Callard’s remarks about the 
age of the human race. 
Rey. O. Fisuer stated that another deposit with similar remains 
had been found half a mile higher up the valley. The horse, 
abundant at Barnwell, was absent here at Barrington. He did not 
think gravels could be deposited in an estuary. 
Prof. Boyp Dawkins said the Neolithic races of man could be 
traced in the present European peoples; but not the Paleolithic. 
The oldest race was that of the river-bed men, who could not now be 
identified, and they ranged as far as India. The cavern race might 
be identified with the Esquimaux. As to the cuts on the bones in 
the Victoria Cave, some good judges thought they were made by 
metal tools. The bones were as likely to belong to sheep as to 
goat. Could it be maintained that domestic animals, such as sheep 
or goat, were Paleolithic species? So far as Middle and Northern 
Europe is concerned, they do not appear before the Neolithic period. 
He believed that in this case they came from a deposit of post- 
Roman age, where they were abundant.
