CARTER : NOTES ON THE GEOLOGY OF MALHAM AND SETTLE. 247 
tion of tlie cave at intervals by early English, Roman, and Celtic 
peoples, and further back still by the pre-liistoric men of the Neolithic 
and Palaeolithic ages. 
Amongst the objects illustrating the historic period are specimens 
of Samian and Roman pottery, silver coins of Trajan, bronze coins 
of Tetritus, Galienus, and Constantine II., and some barbarous imi- 
tations of Roman coins, of (veltic workmanship. A number of objects 
in bone, perforated bone studs, needles, a beautifully ornamented 
spoon-shaped bone fibula, and a flat bronze pin with bicuspid end 
for graving the bone ornaments. Spindle whorls made from Silurian 
pebbles, from the perforated femur of the small ox, and even from 
fragments of pottery, are to be seen. Among the articles of personal 
adornment exhibited in the Museum are bronze brooches inlaid with 
coloured enamels, a harp-shaped bronze fibula, dragonesque bronze 
brooches enamelled, a spirally coiled gilt-bronze brooch, bronze and 
silver rings, and beads of transparent and coloured glass. 
Among the objects exhumed from the Neolithic layer there are 
for exhibition rude flint flakes, polished celts, bone bead, and a barbed 
bone harpoon for spearing fish. Fine specimens of reindeer antler, 
and a massive skull of grizzly bear are also to be seen. 
From the Palaeolithic layer there are teeth of an extinct elephant, 
bones of the bison, urns, hippopotamus bearing marks of the hyaena's 
teeth, and part of a rhinoceros' skull. 
The Museum was thrown open for the inspection of the members, 
by the kindness of the Head Master, and the specimens were 
described by the Curator. 
In the compilation of these Notes for use of the party, I grate- 
fully acknowledge the important information kindly furnished by Mr. 
Walter Morrisson, M.P., and the late Mr. Thos. Tate, F.G.S.
