T?HE existence of the bones of quadrupeds in several 
caves in Germany, in the fissures of the Rock of Gibraltar, 
and in cavities in limestone-rocks in various parts of the 
shores of the Mediterranean, has long been known to the 
literary world ; but it is only within these few years that 
similar collections of animal remains have been discovered

known to have been natives of Britain, at the most distant 
era to which our history reaches. It is not the object of 
this paper, to notice all the collections of this kind hitherto 
discovered in England ; but to describe some phenomena 
of this class which have fallen under the observation of the
