REPORT ON THE EXPLORATION OE BRIXHAM CAVE. 
489 
Kelly’s Gallery was filled to the roof with an accumulation having precisely the 
same characters, both positive and negative. In short in both these branches the materials 
were such as to suggest that they were perhaps introduced through small crevices or 
flues which possibly occur in the roof. 
The Pen Gallery and Munday’s Gallery contained third-bed materials only ; the 
latter, however, was too narrow to be excavated at any great depth. 
The deposit in the South Chamber, Keeping’s Gallery, and King’s Gallery was a 
mixture of such materials as composed the “ third” and “ fourth ” beds. 
Shells . — A considerable number of dead land-shells of existing species were found in 
the stalagmitic floor and under loose stones lying on the surface in that part of the 
Flint-knife Gallery where there was no stalagmite. A few were met with also in, and 
immediately beneath, the stalagmite itself. They were most numerous near the external 
entrances and under the cross fracture in the roof of the Flint-lmife Gallery (Plate 
XLIII. m, fig. 2). A common limpet-shell was found on the surface of the third bed 
immediately beneath this roof-fracture, and was the only marine organism met with. 
Mammalian Remains . — Bones were found in the stalagmite and in the first, third, 
and fourth beds. Their distribution is shown in the following Table : —
