2 36 The Rev. Mr . Buckland's Account of Fossil Teeth , &c 
Plate XXVI. 
Vertical section of the great cave at Gailenreuth, near Bam- 
berg, in Franconia ; drawn from a sketch made on the spot 
by Professor Buckland, A. D. 1816. 
A. Entrance passage, varying from five to eight feet in 
height, terminated externally by an open mouth in the steep 
side of a hill, and internally expanding into the cavern B. : a 
few bones are scattered irregularly along the floor. 
B. First large chamber, having stalactites of all sizes hang- 
ing from its roof, and numerous bones of bears scattered on 
its floor. 
C. Second chamber, separated from B by a perpendicular 
precipice, but having, probably, other lateral communications 
with it. On its floor the bones lie scattered more abundantly 
than in B. 
D. Large aperture, descending obliquely downwards from 
C, and having cart loads of loose bones in it. 
E. Mass composed chiefly of bones cemented by stalagmite, 
and forming a compact breccia. 
F. Very long and low passage, connecting the chamber C 
with the vertical fissure G. The length of this passage is not 
expressed, for want of room ; it can be traversed only by 
crawling on the hands and knees. 
G. Vertical fissure of considerable depth, and about three 
feet in breadth ; the only mode of descent is by supporting 
the hands and feet on niches cut in the opposite sides of the 
fissure. 
H. Oven-shaped cavity, which has been produced artificially 
by extracting bones and skulls from the osseous breccia.
