212 The Rev. Mr. Buckland's account of Fossil Teeth and 
preserved is about three inches long, its enamel is fine, it is 
longitudinally striated, and on one side of the apex truncated 
and worn flat by use. 
On the summit of Sandford Hill, on the east of Hutton, 
bones of the elephant were also, according to Mr. Catcott's 
MSS., discovered four fathoms deep among loose rubble. 
Some farther detail of the bones found in the cave at Hutton 
are given as a note in Mr. Catcott’s Treatise on the Deluge 
(page 361, 1st. edition), in which he specifies six molar teeth 
of the elephant, one of them lying in the jaw, part of a tusk, 
part of a head, four thigh bones, three ribs, with a multitude 
of lesser bones, belonging probably to the same animal. “ Be- 
sides these (he adds), we picked up part of a large deer's 
horn very flat, and the slough of a horn (or the spongy po- 
rous substance that occupies the inside of the horns of oxen ), 
of an extraordinary size, together with a great variety of teeth 
and small bones belonging to different species of land animals. 
The bones and teeth were extremely well preserved, all re- 
taining their native whiteness, and, as they projected from 
the sides and top of the cavity, exhibited an appearance not 
unlike the inside of a charnel-house.” 
It appears to me most probable, from the description given 
of these bones and horns, that they were not all dragged in 
by beasts of prey, but some of them, at least, drifted in by 
water, and the presence of pebbles seems to add credibility 
to this conjecture. 
3. Another case of fossil fragments of bone has been dis- 
covered by Mr. Miller, of Bristol, in a cavity of mountain 
lime-stone, near Clifton, by the turnpike gate on Derdham
