The Irish Naturalist. 
November, 
found at depths down to four feet, in a gallery which con- 
tained remains of Hyaena. Of the latter we found a canine 
and a molar tooth ; also an ulna and metatarsal. There is a 
canine of an aged Wolf (?), and a fine os innomi?iatum of 
Hare (?). We got several lumpy pieces of Mammoth bone, 
and a worn molar of this Elephant occurred two feet below 
the surface with rubble. There is a very small humerus, 
which may have belonged to a foetal Mammoth, and some 
ivory-like surfaces of plates of bone or ivory ; also a coracoid 
of a bird. 
September 14. — Same gallery. Most of the sand worked 
to-day was pale and barren ; but at 8 feet 6 inches from the 
ope got, 2 feet deep, a small Mammoth's tooth, and at 9 feet 
6 inches, and 3 feet deep, got a companion tooth to that found 
on the JOth inst. in this gallery. These teeth were near a con- 
necting ope from Galler}^ of Aged Carnivores in which we got 
so many bones on 9th August. Several broken bones of 
adult Mammoth were also found to-day. Beyond this ope 
the sand fills up the gallery to the stalagmite floor, which 
had been separated from it in the parts previously dug, and 
here are two well-defined burrows in the sand made by foxes 
or rabbits. Our work was discontinued at 12 feet 6 inches, 
from the dangerous nature of the roof 
September 15. — Irish Elk's Gallery. This branches off 
north-westwards from the Gallery of the Elephants' Teeth, 
nearly opposite the ope that leads from the Aged Carnivores. 
Its stalagmite remains like a roof, as in the last gallery dug, 
but separated from the limestone roof by a space of 6 inches, 
and from the sand beneath by another short space. Then 
there were 9 inches of pale barren sand, below which was bone- 
sand, darker and containing blocks, to a depth of 2 feet 6 
inches, and then blackish sand. The limestone blocks must 
have fallen from above before the stalagmite was formed over 
the sand, and the associated bones would therefore be older 
than the stalagmite in this gallery; while in that of the 
Aged Carnivores bones and sand overlay the fallen stalagmite 
(see 29th August). We got to-day a small molar of Mam- 
moth, a jaw of old Hysena two feet deep, under overhanging 
wall to the right, and other bones of Hyaena, Reindeer, 
and Hare. What gave its name to this gallery were the fol- 
lowing remains of Irish Elk : — A blackened ulna, with pallid
