184 The Rev. Mr. Buckland’s account of Fossil Teeth and 
is more than twenty times as great as could have been sup- 
plied by the individuals whose other bones we find mixed 
with them. 
Fragments of jaw bones are by no means common ; the 
greatest number I saw belong to the deer, hyaena, and water- 
rat, and retain their teeth ; in all the jaws both teeth and bone 
are in an equal state of high preservation, and show that their 
fracture has been the effect of violence, and not of natural 
decay. I have seen but ten fragments of deers’ jaws, and 
about forty of hyaenas’, and as many of rats. (See Plate 
XVIII. fig. 2, s, and Plate XVII. fig. 3, 4, 5. ) The ordinary 
fate of the jaw bones, as of all the rest, appears to have been 
to be broken to pieces. 
The greatest number of teeth are those of hyasnas, and the 
ruminantia. Mr. Gibson alone collected more than 300 ca- 
nine teeth of the hyasna, which at the least must have belonged 
to 75 individuals, and they are in the same proportion in 
other collections. The only remains that have been found of 
the tiger species (see Plate XX. fig. 5, 6, 7), are two large 
canine teeth, each 4 inches in length, and one molar tooth, 
exceeding in size that of the largest lion or Bengal tiger. 
There is one tusk only of a bear (see Plate XX. fig. 1), 
which exactly resembles those of the extinct ursus spelaeus 
of the caves of Germany, the size of which M. Cuvier says 
must have equalled that of a large horse. Of the wolf and fox 
there are many teeth (see Plate XX. fig. 8 to 18 ), and others 
belonging to an animal which I cannot ascertain : it seems to 
have been nearly allied to the wolf, but the teeth are much 
tninner, and less strong. (See Plate XX. fig. 20 to 27). A 
few jaws and teeth have also been found belonging to the
