for the most part too trivial to be introduced here ; but I must 
say that I have not the materials at hand thoroughly to test 
these corrections. In page 603 Mr. Pengelly, says “Mr. 
Howard copies correctly my estimate of “ *05 inches in 250 
years/' the estimate, when he subsequently refers it, is multi- 
plied by ten and appears as 0*5 inch instead of *05 inch (see 
page 6). [This very obvious error should be corrected, though 
immaterial to the context.] 
Page 605 Mr. Pengelly says that I have thought fit to 
change his words “ Mr. James Farrar " into “James Farrar 39 
and “ deposits 33 into “ deposit." Mr. Pengelly refers to the 
Trans. Devon Ass. vi. 665. These, in the original, I have 
never seen : and certainly disclaim all want of courtesy to 
the individual named ! Though it might have been desir- 
able to take the quotation from the original, I failed to 
do so in this and other instances. I am glad, how- 
ever, to see Mr. Pengelly' s admission that “ the passage as 
rendered is essentially correct" (p. 606). As to the next 
quotation that strikes me (p. 615), Mr. Pengelly remarks 
“ the words he professes to quote are substantially the same 33 
(pp. 9 and 10 of my paper). 
In p. 616, Mr. Pengelly detects a manifest blunder either 
mine or the printer's, 500 is put for 5,000. It is evident that 
my calculation is founded on the correct number. 
P. 620. Mr. Pengelly corrects 350 flint implements into 
“ upwards of 350." The exact number, he says, was 366. 
lie says that I suppressed the first words. But what motive 
could I have for so doing ? 
P. 623. “ Inmates " is misprinted for “ initiated ." This, 
as Pengelly observes, is “ germane to nothing." P. 626. 
Mr. Pengelly discusses the tangled question of the number of 
entrances to the Cavern,* and I have no hesitation in receiving 
from him the corrected account as follows : — 
“ I conclude, in almost the same words as in 1872, that, at 
least, the great bulk of the cave earth was washed in through 
the two long-known, high level, eastern entrances, because 
there were no other available channels of ingress, and also 
because its highest level is at these entrances, being nowhere 
higher than the entrances, and declining rapidly from them in 
all directions." 
All this tells in favour of Pev. McEnery's view, that this 
torrent of liquid mud was poured in by the waters of the 
* Page 622, Mr. Pengelly says : “ It is now known, therefore, that the 
Cavern has seven distinct entrances of which two only are now open.”
