RAYGILL FISSURE. 
305 
limestone is exposed it exhibits a water-worn appearance through- 
out the whole of the lower part of the fissure. During the ex- 
cavation of this part a considerable number of teeth and bones 
have been found similar to those dug out at a higher elevation. 
On account of the bad weather, and the amount of water 
lodging in the fissure, the work has been stopped for the present 
season. It is intended to begin again as early as possible in the 
spring of next year, and to follow the line taken by the fissure 
either along the easterly branch, or the one proceeding in a north- 
erly direction ; as may be most advantageous. From the results 
already obtained it may naturally be expected that equally im- 
portant discoveries may be still in store to be brought out by next 
year's exploration. Your Committee have every confidence in 
appealing to those gentlemen who have already subscribed to re- 
new their subscriptions, and to others who take an interest in the 
work of Cave Explorations to become subscribers for the ensuing 
year. 
Appended is a list of those gentlemen who have subscribed 
during the present year. 
Professor Miall desires to explain that the address on the 
Raygill Exploration issued in the last Report of the Yorkshire 
Geological Society was printed from shorthand notes, and that by 
an unfortunate oversight he had no opportunity of seeing the re- 
port before publication. Some errors and omissions are due to 
this circumstance.
