270 FOSSIt REMAINS OF QUADRUPEDS, &C. 
I had the satisfaction of obtaining one or two small frag- 
ments of bone. I also procured from the workmen some 
pieces of ribs which they had formerly taken out. These 
relics are now shewn to the Society. I have also added a 
specimen of the mud, with a portion of the mud from the 
Kirkdale cavern. 
Having stated the leading facts relating to these interest- 
ing phenomena, it now remains that some conjectures 
should be offered j&)r explaining them. This I propose to 
attempt in a future paper.
