ScHAH?^F — Fo)-nier Occurrence of A frican Wild Cal in Ireland. 11 



In couclusion, I should like to express my special thanks to the 

 British Association, and to the Koyal Irish Academy Fauna and 

 Flora Committee, without whose help the valuable cave researches 

 could not have been undertaken, and also to Mr. 11. J. XJssher, and to 

 the owners of the Edenvale, Newhall, and Barntick Caves, without 

 whose conspicuous services the cat remains would probably never 

 have been brought to light.
