Eight lower canine and two phalanges of large TJrsus. 
Much-gnawed lower end of radius of Bos ; lower two thirds of humerus of Equus ; 
shaft of humerus, right lower caniue, and very young or foetal tibia of Ursus ; one 
trochlea of cannonbone of C. tarandus ; much-gnawed fragment of hone of Bhino- 
ceros ? ; left hind proximal phalanx of Capreolus ; other fragments undeterminable. 
Three fragments of metacarpals or metatarsals of Ursus; an amorphous gnawed fragment. 
All bones of one and the same Ursus, of large size, and comprising: — 
1. A nearly entire sacrum. 
2 1 . 
g‘ 1 Portions of right and left ossa innominata, including the acetabula. 
4. A portion, about 9" long, of the right femur, wanting the head. 
5. Portion, between 6” and 7" long, of the right tibia. 
6. Fragment of the right scapula, including the entire glenoid fossa. 
7 . Upper part (nearly half) of the left ulna. (Corresponding in size with 
Schmerling’s second or most common form.) 
8. Lower end of left radius, with the articular surface nearly entire. 
9-18. Vertebrae, or portions of vertebrae. 
19-23. Portions of various ribs, on one of which is a small notch, such as might 
be made by means of a dint or stone implement (II. F.). 
24—30. Fragments of various boues, and an entire scapho-lunar bone. 
X.B. All these bones are of a light yellowish colour, friable, and porous. The 
cancellated tissue uot at all infiltrated, but open and of a reddish colour. Among the 
small bones is a fragment apparently of the metacarpal or metatarsal of Hycena. 
A numerous collection of bones, chiefly if not entirely of young Hares, Eabbits, and 
Birds, with small fragments of angular bone, breccia, one containing a premolar in 
germ of Ursus, dendritic. 
Right ramus of mandible of young Ursus, with the canine just emerging (the crown of 
the penultimate molar is just extruded); right and left ultimate lower molars with 
fangs still in germ, all probably belonging to the same animal (considered Ursus 
arctos by H. F.) ; a portion of the right maxilla with the 4 pm of very large size in 
situ ; five other very young teeth, all probably of the same individual ; ungual 
phalanx, black, of Ursus (mature) ; the lower milk-canine of Ursus? ; and a much 
rolled fragment of the mandible of Hycena. 
X.B. The last two specimens are dark-coloured and heavy, and in quite a different 
condition from those belonging to the Ursus, which, except the ungual phalanx, are 
light-coloured and much fresher looking. 
The enamel cap of canine tooth of Ursus, clearly the fellow to one of those in Xo. XXVI. 
Eumerous hones of small rodents, including Arvicola, &c. ; young Hares and Rabbits, 
&c., with the teeth ; the entire left metacarpal of Capreolus; the right upper canine 
of Hycena, dark-coloured and heavy, and in very different condition from the other 
remains. 
Left ramus of mandible of young Ursus, forming a pair with that recorded in Xo. 
XXVI. It contains the second incisor fully protruded, the third just appearing in 
the alveolus, the milk-canine still in situ, the base of the first premolar broken off, 
and the third and fourth premolars fully protruded, though quite unworn. It is to 
be remarked that these two portions of the same mandible, of most fragile consistence 
and yet quite uninjured (except perhaps at the time they were extracted), were found 
in the Flint-knife Gallery, one 3 feet from the entrance and 6 inches deep in the 
third bed, and the other 10 feet from the entrance and lying on the stalagmite floor. 
The only other bone belonging to Ursus was the shaft of a very young tibia, doubtless 
of the same animal, and which was found sticking in the stalagmite. The left meta- 
tarsal of C. taranclvs ; a long bone and the vertebra of young Hare imbedded in hard 
red stalagmite. 
X.B. Though six specimens are recorded in the Register, only five could he found. 
Three enamel caps of canines and one of the outer incisor, and the fragment of the 
metacarpal of a very young Ursus ; the perfect metacarpal and the calcaneum of a 
matxire Ursus ; two bone- splinters ; portion of the astragalus of C. tarandus. 
X.B. Probably the extra specimen belongs to Xo. XXIX. 
Much-worn upper right canine and fifth proximal phalanx of Felis spelcea ; portion of 
sacrum and proximal phalanx of C. tarandus ; a metacarpal or metatarsal and a 
portion of the third right rib of Ursus ? 
X.B. Six specimens were found, though only four are noticed in the Register. 
Lower half of right humerus, of large size, of C. tarandus, gnawed ; metatarsal of large 
Bos (very like some of those figured by Buckland, II. F.).
