1906. UsSHER. — Hy£Ena-De7is of Mammoth Cave. 245 
there was a bed of pale sand, 15 inches deep in the centre, 
deepening to the left, and dark sand under it. Bones were 
found in both sands, but most numerously in the pale. 
Several bones of Bear occurred between the two layers at 
2 feet 4 inches, and deepening to the left is a paler sand than 
either of those above it. 
September 8-10. — Among the bones found in Dalton's 
Gallery was the broken-up skull of an old Bear \ it was one foot 
below the surface, and a piece of the broken-down stalagmite 
floor was resting on it. The excavation of the Threatening 
Gallery was then deepened, and among the few bones found 
were the vertebra of a small Mammoth and a canine of an old 
Hyaena probably belonging to the skull found on 3rd Sep- 
tember. 
We then commenced to dig in the Gallery of the Elephants' 
Teeth, beyond (west of) that of the Aged Carnivores. About 
6 inches below the surface, near the ope b}- which we entered, 
Dalton found the molar of an adult Mammoth, with bones of 
Reindeer, &c. 
September it. — Dug 3 feet deep in same gallery and found 
many bones, all of Reindeer, some of which were stuck into 
the walls, and we left a metatarsal there hi situ. A scapula 
was embedded in a piece of stalagmite which was embedded 
in the sand. 
September 12. — Gallery of the Elephants' Teeth. Dug four 
feet deep. We met with 18 inches of pale barren sand on 
top ; beneath that was darker sand containing many bones of 
Reindeer, which increased in number as we dug down, and 
not a few were got at four feet deep. They were more 
numerous by the walls, especially near the junction of the 
Gallery of the Irish Elk. There were some very large Rein- 
deers' bones, and what appears to be part of the mandible of 
an adult Mammoth. We also got a bone or two of Hare and 
Fox (?), black like those of Reindeer. 
September 13. — Dug on north in same gallery, 4 feet 6 
inches deep, the sand being pale and barren on top, blackish 
at bottom, and containing limestone fragments and a few 
rolled stones. A huge tibia and metatarsus, and other bones 
of Reindeer found near the junction of the gallery of the 
Irish Elk in a hollow under the wall, where the water must 
first have undermined it. Here again, the Reindeer was
