Human remains. 3 



Caves, Somerset ; Doward's Wood Cave, Herefordshire ; Windy wall-case, 

 Knoll fissure, near Castleton, and Creswell Crags, Derbyshire ; No. 1, Pier 

 Kirkdale. Yorkshire ; Gower, Glamorganshire ; Coygan Cave, ^aWe^oase 

 Carmarthenshire ; Cae-Gwyn and Ffynnon-Beuno Caves, Vale n q . 1. 

 of Clwyd, Denbighshire ; and other British caves ; from Bruni- 

 quel. Nabrigas, and Dordogne in France ; from Gailenreuth, etc., 

 in Franconia ; from Gibraltar ; from Maccagnone, in Sicily; 

 from Minas Geraes, Brazil ; from the Caves of Borneo ; and 

 from the Wellington Caves, New South Wales. 



Near the window, adjoining Wall-case No. 1., is placed a 

 small glazed case containing reproductions of 52 objects found 

 in the caves of Aqnitaine, France, explored by MM. Lartet and 

 Christy, and comprising barbed harpoons of reindeer-antlers, 

 arrow-straighteners, incised and caiwed antlers of reindeer, 

 bones of horse, etc. Some of the incised figures give an excellent 

 idea of the animals which the pre-historic cave-folk must have 

 seen and hunted, and whose remains make up so large a propor- 

 tion of the bone-breccia with which most of these caves were 

 filled. These objects have been described and figured by 

 MM. Lartet and Christy in their work entitled "Reliquiae Aqui- 

 tanica?." 4to. 1865-75, edited by Prof. T. Rupert Jones, F.R.S. 



(The originals of most of these objects are in Prof. Lartet's 

 Collection.)

Max. — In Pier-case 1 are placed skulls and other bones of Pier-case, 

 Prehistoric Man together with specimens of his flint tools and 

 weapons, and the remains of the animals which were contem- 

 porary with him and of which many, for example the Cave Lion 

 and Cave Hycena, are now extinct. All these were from caverns 

 in various parts of Great Britain and the Continent. The most 

 important of these are : — Kent's Cavern in Devonshire, the 

 Gower Caves in Glamorganshire, Kirkdale Cavern in York- 

 shire, the Cavern of Gailenreuth in Franconia and of Bruniquel 

 in the Auvergne District of France. 



Pier-case 2 also contains the remains of man and of 

 various extinct animals associated with him, from various 

 caverns and fissures, including those of Cae-Gwyn and 

 Ffynnon-Beuno in Glamorganshire, Windy Knoll and Creswell 

 Crags in Derbyshire, Minas Geraes in Brazil, and the Welling- 

 ton Caves in New South Wales. Here also is placed the 

 Fossil Human Skeleton brought from Guadaloupe, in the West 

 Indies, by Sir Alexander Cochrane, R.N., and. presented to from Guada- 

 the Museum bv the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, loupe.
