UPHILL BONE-CAVES. 
very plentiful, but include several teeth and some well pre- 
served metacarpals. 
Eed (?) Deer {Cervus ? elaphus). The remains of deer 
include several fragments of antlers and a number of teeth. 
Mammoth {Elephas primigenius) . Several fragments of 
tusks and of broken grinding teeth were met with. One 
very perfect grinding tooth was also found and is now in the 
collection of Eev. A. J. Burr, of Uphill. The most interesting 
find was however two of the minute antepenultimate milk 
molars, one of them in an exceptionally perfect state. The 
crowns of these teeth are barely three-quarters of an inch in 
length. 
The skull of a squirrel {Sciurus vulgaris) is also among the 
bones obtained by Mr. Wilson, and its appearance is such as 
to justify one in supposing that it came from the same deposit 
as the cave animals. 
Bones of the rabbit, sheep, mole, and fowl are also among 
bones obtained by Mr. Wilson from Uphill, but there is every 
reason to suppose that they are of later date than the cave 
earth with the bones of extinct animals. The same remark 
applies to certain worked flints — scrapers and knives and 
round stones (pot-boilers) which are also in the series obtained 
by Mr. Wilson at Uphill. It is noteworthy that bones of the 
wolf, polecat, otter and wild boar have not been met with 
among those recently obtained at Uphill, though they are 
referred to by the earlier observers.
