and the open Fissure in Duncombe Parle. 
6. The Cave at Crawley Rocks, near Swansea. 
7. The Cave at Paviland, near Swansea. 
1. The Cave at Hutton . — This cave is one of many cavities 
of mountain limestone, which were lined and nearly filled with 
ochreous clay. The bones found in it were the teeth and 
bones of the elephant, and some few remains of horses, oxen, and 
two species of stag, besides the skeleton of a fox, and the meta- 
carpal bone of a large species of bear, and the molar teeth and 
tusk of a large hog. Mr Buckland supposes that these bones 
were not dragged in by beasts of prey, but were either drifted 
in by the diluvian waters, or derived from animals that had fallen 
in before the introduction of the ochreous loam, which is clearly 
of diluvian origin. 
2. Cave on Derdham Downs . — This cavity in mountain lime- 
stone contains fractured bones, partially encrusted with stalacti- 
tical matter, and the broken surfaces have also an external coat- 
ing of thin vitreous stalactite, proving the fracture to have been 
ancient. One specimen is the fossil joint of the horse. “ It is,” 
says Mr Ruckland, <s the tarsus joint, in which the astragalus 
retains its natural position between the tibia and os calcis; these 
are held together by a stalagmitic cement, andVere probably 
left in this position by some beast of prey that had gnawed off 
the deficient portions of the tibia and os calcis.” 
3. Cave at Bailey .— This cavity of mountain limestone was 
intersected in working a lead-mine, and contained some bones 
and molar teeth of the elephant. 
4. Dream Cave . — This cave was discovered in December 
1822, in the pursuit of a lead-vein through solid mountain lime- 
stone. It was filled with a confused mass of argillaceous mat- 
ter and fragments of stone, in the middle of which was found 
nearly the whole skeleton of a rhinoceros, and some remains of 
the ox and the deer. Mr Buckland infers that these bones 
were derived from animals that perished by the same waters 
that introduced them to the cave. 
5. Caves near Plymouth . — An account of some of these caves 
has already appeared in the Philosophical Transactions for 1817 
and 1821, and some of the others will be described in the vo- 
lume for 1823.
