UPHILL BONE-CAVES. 
159 
Organic Remains from the Uphill Bone Caves^. 
Garnivora. 
Spotted Hyaena [H. crocuta). Bones of hyaenas are far more 
plentiful than those of any other animal, and indicate the 
presence of scores of individuals. Some fine mandibular rami 
were found, including one showing both milk and permanent 
dentition, but the remains of the crania were very fragmentary. 
Numerous milk teeth were found, and rootless permanent 
teeth which had not cut the jaw. Coprolites were met with 
in some numbers, and numerous fine examples of gnawed 
bones. It is clear from the occurrence of these teeth of very 
young individuals that though the cave of occupation has 
not been found it cannot be very far off. 
Cave Bear {Ursus spelaeus). The bones of this animal were 
fairly plentiful, among those found being a perfect femur 
and a mandibular ramus with teeth in place. 
Badger {Meles taxus). An extremely fine skull of this 
animal has comparatively recently been found and is now in 
the collection of the rector of Uphill. The badger is a native 
of the county, the last specimen in the Uphill district having 
been killed about twelve years ago. There can be Httle or no 
doubt however that the present skull comes from the same 
deposit as the cave animals. 
Fox {Ganis vulpes). Several mandibular rami, a number of 
detached teeth and several other bones were found. 
Horse {Equus caballus). Next to those of the hyaena, the 
remains of the horse are the most plentiful of those occurring 
at Uphill. Many scores of teeth were obtained, and a con- 
siderable number of vertebrae and broken hmb bones. Several 
hoof-bones were found. 
Woolly Rhinoceros {R. tichorhinus) . A perfectly preserved 
humerus and a number of grinding teeth from both upper 
and lower jaws are the most important remains of this 
animal met with. 
Bison {Bison prisms). The remains of this animal are not
