Art, III .— Account of the Caves at Kirby Moor side > and the 
open fissure in Buncombe Park , with notices of the other 
Caves in England. 
HaVING, in a previous Volume, (Vol. VIII. p. 56.), laid 
before our readers a brief account of the celebrated cave of 
Kirkdale in Yorkshire, and of the great cave of Gailenreuth in 
Franconia, we are now enabled, by the publication of the Reve- 
rend Mr Buckland’s Reliquiae Biluviana, , to continue these inter- 
esting papers. 
The able and valuable work of Mr Buckland, which we can- 
not recommend too strongly to the perusal of our readers, and es- 
pecially to those who have been disposed to draw a line between 
Science and Revelation, is divided into two parts. Part I. contains 
a full account of all the caves in England and Germany, which 
contain organic remains ; and Part II. a detail of the evidences 
of an Universal Deluge, as afforded by phenomena actually exist- 
ing on the surface of the earth. To the First Part the author 
has added notices of the osseous breccia in Gibraltar, Nice, Dal- 
matia, &c. ; and of the human remains in caves : and to the Se- 
cond Part, he has added the opinion of Cuvier, and an appen- 
dix on the excavation of valleys by diluvial denudations. 
As we propose to continue this subject solely as a branch of 
Physical Geography, we shall proceed to the description of the 
caves of Kirby Moorside. 
Caves at Kirby Moorside. 
“ The cave at Kirby Moorside was intersected in working the 
face of a quarry of the same limestone as that at Kirkdale, at 
the north end of the town, and on the right side of a narrow 
gorge or valley called the Manor Vale, which descends from the 
north towards the Vale of Pickering, nearly parallel to the val- 
ley of Kirkdale, being about sixty feet broad, and bounded by 
slopes forty feet high, and forming one of the many smaller val- 
leys of denudation excavated on this limestone by the diluvial 
waters, as they subsided from the moorlands to the Vale of Pick- 
ering. A considerable portion of the right bank of this valley
