1906. USSHER. — Hy£B7ia-Dens of Mainvioth Cave, 247 
blotches, found three feet deep under a block ; a phalanx 
similarly marked, and the beam of a large antler, which, at 
its proximal end, had all the appearance of being shed, but 
at its broken end had evidently been gnawed, so that it pro- 
bably had been in possession of a Hyaena. It was found 
two feet deep in the sand. Two large sandstone cobbles 
were found in this gallery, between the bone-sand and the 
upper sand. 
In this pale upper sand we got a Reindeer jaw, and below 
that, I foot 6 inches from the surface, several portions of the 
broken skull of a Mammoth. 
September 17. — Found a long bone of Mammoth, whose 
ends had been gnawed away, about 15 inches below the surface, 
above a limestone block; and also at 15 inches deep, near 
the same spot, was an ulna of Hyaena. Here, we may sa}^ 
we found the Hyaena in the midst of its pre}^ Irish Elk and 
Mammoth. Among other things found to-day were vertebrae 
and other small bones of Hyaena, plates of a young Mam- 
moth's tooth, Bear's canine, and bits of Reindeer. 
September iS. — Found a Bear's femur 3 feet 8 inches below 
the stalagmite. 
September 19. — Up to 13 feet the Gallery of the Irish Elk 
has an unbroken stalagmite, sheet overhead (once a floor) ; 
then a vacant space of about a foot, then 9 inches of pale 
sand, and below that coarse, dark sand, with limestone 
rubble ; in this was an angular block of limestone, i foot 
3 inches to 3 feet below the stalagmite. Beyond 13 feet the 
stalagmite is broken down, and its fragments lie on the sand. 
Between 12 feet and 13 feet the humerus of a large bird was 
found. A Reindeer's dorsal vertebra came out of the pale 
sand, and other pieces of Reindeer were below the limestone 
block. 
September 20. — Dug in a diagonal gallery that branches 
off from the last to the left at 6 feet. In the mouth of this, 
2 feet 6 inches below the stalagmite, an ulna of Hyaena in 
dark sand and rubble, with a sandstone cobble near it on the 
same horizon ; from the diagonal gallery and its offshoots 
we obtained Mammoth, Bear, and Reindeer, some bones of 
the latter loose on the surface. 
September 21. — The remainder of the Gallery of the Irish 
Elk, up to 18 feet, proved to be full of pale soft barren sand, 
and beyond that point there was an earthfall; but at 18 feet
