not ^infrequently accompanied by teeth, and frag- 
ments of bone of domestic animals, and bits of 
charcoal. Thus there occurred : 
At 120 feet, part of the jaw of a pig. 
At 180 feet, sheep’s teeth and frequent fragments 
of bone. 
At 300 feet, the molar of a horse and fragments 
of bone. 
At 315 feet, on the north side of the road were 
found with patella and littorina, a cow’s tooth, part 
of the jaw, and other bones, and teeth of a pig, 
fragments of other bones, bits of charcoal, and two 
human molars. 
At 365 feet, fragments of bone. 
The bones have all lost much animal matter. 
On the whole these shells and bones must be 
attributed to deposits made by birds or men. The 
shells are such as sea birds often carry to land for 
food, and (except the oysters), most of them may 
now be found in suitable places on the Head so 
transported. 
In Connemara shells of the very same kinds may 
be frequently found and traced to or from a cabin 
or the site of one, on or under the sward according 
to the overlying of the deposit. 
Shells lying on exposed ledges, or shells or bones 
•cast out, would in the course of years be distributed 
down hill along with and in time be buried in and 
under the superficial detritus. * Wind and rain 
and chance footsteps would assist in scattering 
such objects. 
It is probable that the deposit of these remains 
on the Head is of very ancient date. 
* At the Tunara sand flats, north of Gibraltar, I have watched a levanter 
roll along heavy shells of Cardium tuberculatum, and Pectunculus, and even 
a massive valve of Panopaea glycimeris.-— R. D. D.
