November, 
sand overlying these wrecks contained the bones, chiefly of 
Bear and Reindeer, so that these must have been deposited 
there after the fall of the stalagmite, and not before it, as in 
the " Fairy-land." 
August 30. — Dug on south in the Gallery of the Aged Car- 
nivores. Pale sand above, darker beneath, but very irregularly 
stratified. B'ound many bones of Bear and Reindeer, the latter 
of a very large individual, a slender jaw of Fox, and a portion 
of a jaw and other bones of Wolf (?). This jaw, which con- 
tained a fine sharp back tooth, was 2 feet down, near a humerus 
of Reindeer, by the west wall. 
August 31. — Dug on, 3 feet deep, the gallery being 8 feet 
wide. Much fallen limestone was on and in the sand, and we 
got a few worn sandstones. Stalagmite was not met until we 
dug to 3 feet, below which fragments of the fallen sheet were 
found. Some of the stalagmite remains in situ near the roof 
on the east side of this gallery, and it still bridges over the 
passage by which we enter. Found many bones of Bear and 
Reindeer from 8 inches to 3 feet below the surface. Several 
bones of Hare occurred, and the remains of the skull of a Fox 
was found 3 feet deep under sand in which stones were packed. 
It was close to the ulna of a Bear on the same level. A foot- 
bone of Mammoth was found 18 inches below the surface. 
SepTKMBER I. — Continued to excavate, 3 feet deep ; the 
darker layer of sand having paler sand above and below it, 
with many limestone fragments and pieces worn by solution ; 
also a few rounded sandstones, no stalagmite. The horizon 
of the great majority of bones found to-day was within a foot 
of the surface. This applies to a skull of Wolf (?), partly in- 
corporated with a mass of breccia. It was recovered in 
slender bits, as also the remains of a ramus of mandible. 
We seem to have got some metatarsals of Wolf and a couple 
of bones of Lemming, a good many bones of Bear and Rein- 
deer, and a tibia of Hare. 
We have now worked out the Gallery of the Aged Carnivores 
for 34 feet ; beyond this point southward it is polled with 
masses of rock fallen from the roof, and beyond these masses 
is a great earth-fall. It might be suggested that the cobbles 
or rolled sandstones found in the sand-beds of this gallery 
were intruded with this earth-f^ll in later times ; but the sand-
