south side of James Street,* and on the south-west side of 

 Breckfield Eoad North, near St. Domingo Pit, in which 

 they were found fifty years ago and then fixed up in a 

 garden at the north end of it, on the site of the present 

 Chambers Street. There were others on the east side of 

 Boundary Lane,t over the entrance to the Strawberry 

 Gardens, where a brewery now stands, and on the south 

 side of Everton Brow, I just below Prince Kupert's 

 Cottage. There were lower jaw-bones on the west side 

 of Lodge Lane,§ and at Little Brighton, near the old 

 quarry, now a recreation ground on the west of the road, 

 but all these bones have long since disappeared. The 

 "Jaw-Bone Hotel," at Litherland Boad, Bootle,|| com- 

 memorates another example of the lower jaw-bones of a 

 whale, but removed long ago. 



At the top of Holt Hill, Tranmere, on the north side of 

 the road, the lower jaw-bones of a large whale still remain 

 standing thirteen feet above the ground, the distance 

 between the ends of the two rami being thirteen feet, and 

 the width of each one and a half feet. The top ends have 

 fallen across each other in consequence of the basal ends 

 not having been buried a sufficient depth in the ground, 

 their original position having been altered by the removal 

 of the door within which they are placed. It seems 

 probable that the two ends were then set too far apart, 

 and at a greater distance than before, and that eight or 

 nine feet between the articular ends would be more nearly 

 correct. An elderly lady who resides at the house, 

 informed me that " a captain presented the jaw-bones to 

 her grandfather, and that he had them erected." 



On the south side of Ibbotson's Lane, Greenbank, over 

 the entrance to the garden of a cottage, the lower jaw-
