2i4< The Rev. Mr. Buckland's account of Fossil Teeth and 
forty-five long, and about four feet above high water mark ; 
it was filled with solid clay ( probably diluvian mud) in which 
the teeth and bones were imbedded, and was intersected in 
blasting away the body of the rock to make the Breakwater. 
The state of the teeth and bones was precisely the same with 
that of those found at Crawley rocks, they were much broken, 
but not in the slightest degree rounded by attrition, and Sir 
Everard Home has ascertained them to belong exclusively 
to a species of rhinoceros. A similar discovery of teeth and 
bones was made in 1820, in a smaller cavern, distant one hun- 
dred and twenty yards from the former, being one foot high, 
eighteen wide and twenty long, and eight feet above the high 
water mark ; a description of its contents is given in the Phi- 
losophical Transactions for 1821, by the same Gentlemen. It 
contained no stalactite, which abounds in many of the adjacent 
caverns. Sir Everard Home describes these teeth and bones 
as belonging to the rhinoceros, deer, and a species of bear. 
Mr. Whidby is of opinion, that neither of these caverns 
had the appearance of ever having had any opening to the 
surface, or communication with it whatever ; an opinion in 
which I can by no means acquiesce ; though I think it proba- 
ble that the openings had, as at Kirkdale, been long ago 
filled up with rubbish, mud, stalactite, or fragments of rock 
re-united, as sometimes happens, into a breccia as solid as the 
original rock, and overgrown with grass. It is now too late 
to appeal to the evidence of facts, as the rock in which the 
cave existed is entirely removed ; but the circumstances of 
similar caverns that have communication with the surface, 
either open or concealed, both in this neighbourhood, and in 
compact lime-stone rocks of all ages and formations, and in all
