Supplementary IRotes on tbe Clevebon 
Bone Cave anb (Sraveb. 
By H. N. Davies, F.G.S. 
T he beds of gravel which mask the face of the low cliff on the south 
side of Walton Hill, Clevedon, also concealed the small cave 
at their base until December, 1905, when quarrymen in the employ of 
Mr. Coles, a contractor, exposed the mouth of the hole. Bones had 
been continually found in the lowest bed of gravel in the neighbour- 
hood of the cave. I only saw fragmentary specimens, as the better 
and more perfect ones had been dispersed before I arrived on the 
spot on Wednesday, January 3rd, 1906. I found the cave filled 
with cave earth almost to the roof. In the upper portion of 
this deposit there were many small subangular stones and much 
coarse grit, as if the gravel which had lain against the cliff 
had also penetrated the cave. In a section of the gravel beds on 
the left hand side of the short roadway leading down to the cave 
Mr. Coles directed my attention to some very small bones and teeth, 
which were to be found in large numbers at a certain level in the 
basement gravel. I traced this interesting band quite round the 
outside quarried face of the gravel ; and in a spot about twenty 
yards from the cave I found also an accumulation of small land-snail 
shells. Keither bones nor shells were found in the finer portion 
of the gravel bed but amongst course deposit of partially water-worn 
limestone debris. 
Taking the deposits from the bottom beds upwards we have : — 
(a) Lo^ye^ gravel very coarse about the middle of the bed. (b) Clay. 
(c) Middle gravel. (d) Sand. (e) Upper gravel.

The Carboniferous Limestone Beds dip to the south-east at an angle 
of about 40°. The gravels, clay and sand, dip at an angle of 35° near 
the clifi*, but at the distance of a f«»w yards the dip becomes less, the
