REPORT ON THE EXPLORATION OE BRIXHAM CAYE. 
495 
The flints are numbered in the first column in the order of the dates of their discovery. 
Numbers differing from these were written on all of them excepting the fourteenth when 
they were from time to time forwarded to Dr. Falconer. In order to guard against con- 
fusion, these are entered also in the Table, and will be found in the last column. The 
former numbers only will be used here. 
No. 2 flint was accidentally broken and found to be whitened throughout. Find 
Nos. G and 8 were discovered by Dr. Falconer to be portions of one implement (see 
Mr. Evans’s Report, p. 549). No. 17 was found with three bones near the bottom of the 
funnel-shaped cavity (“<?,” Plate XLIII. fig. 1). 
The following summary of Table IV. shows the distribution of the flints : —

From the foregoing Tables we arrive at the following results : — 
(a) In relation to its area the West Chamber was the richest part of the cavern in 
the “Flint Implements” as well as in bones. 
(b) No flints were found in the first bed or the stalagmite, whilst bones were found in 
both. 
( c ) As in the case of the bones, no flints occurred in the so-called upper portion of 
the third bed, which, in the West Chamber and the adjacent part of the Flint-knife 
Gallery, filled the cavern to the roof. 
(d) In the three principal branches of the cavern the third bed yielded 17 flints and 
998 bones. Two of the former, or about 12 per cent., were 9 inches deep in the bed, 
whilst the remainder were at lower levels. Of the latter, on the contrary, as many as 
372, or 37 per cent., were above the level of the highest flint, and were covered by the 
overlying stalagmite, in which were found remains of the Cave-Bear and Reindeer. 
(i e ) Of the 1621 bones and 36 flints found in the cavern, seven of the former and 
sixteen of the latter were met with in the fourth or gravel bed ; or, putting each total 
= 1000, and equating to this, the bones in the gravel are to the flints in the same 
deposits in the ratio of 4 to 444, or as 1 to 111. Taken as wholes, therefore, the 
“ implement” zone is lower than that of the bones. 
Note . — This report and that of Mr. Litisxow were received a considerable time before the others had been 
written.
