The Irish Naturalist, 
November, 
of limestone, stalagmite and brecciated sand. In it we found, 
not far below the surface, the densest assemblage of various 
bones I have met with. There were many of small Mammoth, 
also bones of Bear, Reindeer, a metatarsal and back tooth of 
Wolf (?) a maxilla, an ulna and metatarsals of some small 
carnivore. 
July 31.— Continued to dig in the Third Gallery of the Quad- 
ruple Set, which, as we worked southward, was found to have 
a 6-inch stalagmite floor formed in the sand in the trench of 
rock, 3 feet below the shelf, partly under the portion of the 
upper stalagmite floor overhead, and partly where it was 
absent. 
We found in the sand under this lower stalagmite (as well 
as where the sand had no stalagmite cover) bones of small 
Mammoth, Bear, Reindeer, Fox, Hare, and L^emming. 
Where the lower .stalagmite ceased the sand soon failed, and 
the trench had rubble in it, among which a bone of the small 
Mammoth occurred. 
August i. — Dug deeper along the same Third Gallery, and 
found an os hmominatum of a little Mammoth. We then ex- 
plored the gallery further on, where the right wall had fallen 
down and leaned in. It was undermined or imperfect beneath, 
and, in the hollow among rubble, huge stones, and breccia, 
found a Mammoth's radius 19 inches long, lying loose, which 
weighed 9 lbs. It was coated with mud on one side. We also 
found in the same mass of stones a segment of the head of 
humerus (?) of Mammoth, deeply scored by the teeth of car- 
nivores, and the shaft of a long bone of a small Mammoth. 
In afternoon worked in the next or Fourth Gallery, which at its 
northern end has the upper stalagmite floor i7i situ. A little 
further south this has fallen in huge masses on the sand. 
Further again is a subsequent uneven stalagmite floor on 
sand, blocks, and rubble ; and further on again, opposite to 
site of the Mammoth radius of yesterday, was only rubble and 
blocks of stalagmite. In the latter we found a radius and 
calcaneum of Hysena disengaged, but slightly 6oated with 
sandy mud. 
August 2. — Dug and searched the sand in this Fourth 
Gallery, and found in it more bones of Hyaena, a perfect tibia 
and fibula, patella, astragalus, calcaneum, a number of meta- 
tarsal and metacarpal bones and phalanges. We also found
