these caverns were the resort of the hyena or tiger^ where they 
dragged in and devoured their prey^ and afterwards died in the 
same cave ; these bones agree in character with thsse from the 
celebrated bone caves of Banwell, Hutton and Uphill on the

Our Triangle. — Cheltenham^ Kawlings and Lake, 1842. 
An anonymous author has presented to the public under the 
above title, a series of letters collected from the pages of the 
Cheltenham Chronicle, illustrative of the Geology, Botany and 
Archaeology of the environs of Cheltenham ; our own pages have 
been made the medium for communicating ample information 
respecting the former subject (Geologist vol. I. p. 14 and 199.) 
and we should only be incurring the charge of repetition if we 
dwelt upon that point ; we shall therefore pass the work over 
with our comment to its merit only. The letters purport to be the 
lucubrations of three individuals engaged in the investigation of 
the district, but their style and the poetry with which they are 
interspersed (and that of a very pleasing character) strongly in- 
cline us to believe them to be the works of one mind, and if so, 
the author is certainly a man of very considerable talent and 
perseverance.
