Ursus ; a metatarsal or metacarpal of Hyaena ; an upper molar of Rhinoceros (teste 
H. E., and said by him to be something like if. liemitoechus ) ; the splinter of a long- 
bone? not determinable, of remarkably close texture and great thickness. 
Large portion of right tibia, including the lower articular surface, and two other frag- 
ments apparently of bones of Rhinoceros, all greyish-coloured and dendritic, but not 
heavy ; portion of the left mandible with the three hinder molars, the three separate 
molars of the same side, the left astragalus of Equus ; the left calcaneum pairing 
with No. XXXV., the seventh cervical vertebra, seven or eight portions of ribs, two 
large metacarpals or metatarsals, distal end of the radius (young), the left lower canine, 
dark-coloured and dendritic, of Ursus; a smaller metacarpal, probably of Hyaena; 
the tibia of a young Hare ; portion of a tibia of large Bos ? ; the right os magnum of 
C. elaphus, l"-6 X l"-6 ; the third cervical vertebra of smaller Bos (vide sup. No. XCI.) ; 
gnawed fragment of long hone, Bos ? 
Portion, about 6 inches long, of the shaft of femur of Elephas (crushed and quite 
hollow, tilled up with red clayey earth ; the shell of bone dark-coloured, dense and 
polished, and altogether in a different condition from those included under No. LXXIL). 
Loft metacarpal of Bos, probably young, as the distal epiphysis, together, however, with 
the epiphysial surface, is absent ; the bone is sun-cracked and slight : a small species, 
the upper end measuring only 1 IL 75 x 3 ,,- l. 
Lower half, much broken and gnawed, of the right humerus of Rhinoceros (tichorhinus, 
H. E.), fragment of arch of dorsal vertebra of Elephas , and gnawed fragment of bone 
of same ; fragment of humerus of - Bos of large size ; anterior portion of atlas of 
C. tarandus, very dark peat-colour ; base of shed horn of C'ervus elaphus with large 
unworn burr, very well developed — the brow-antler is given off immediately above 
the base, the circumference of which above the burr is 7" ( Strong ylocerine , H. E.) ; 
second right metacarpal of a fragment of right humerus of Ursus, nearly perfect and 
of grey colour ; a fragment apparently of a palmate horn, having a deepish notch on 
one side, much resembling one made by a blunt or stone implement (H. F.), or it may 
be by the canine of a Hyaena. 
Seventh cervical vertebra agreeing exactly with that noticed under No. LXXIV., and 
doubtless belonging to the same animal, and a small fragment of a rib of Hyaena? 
A boxful of bones of several species of Arvicola, Sorex, Weasel, Birds, &c., found lying 
on the surface of the third bed. 
A similar collection of bones of small animals. 
Seventeen bones of Birds, some like those of a Duck or Merganser, others smaller ; the 
skull of Fcetorius putorius, and the mandible of another of rather larger size ; the 
tibia of a young Hare ; the right os innominatum of Canis vulpes ; two mandibles 
of Arvicola amphibius; the fore part of the cranium and maxilla of Lagomys spelcea 
(H. E.) ; a small vertebra. 
Left maxilla and mandible of Canis vulpes; dentition entire and in beautiful condition. 
The bone is white, dry, and adherent, incrusted with a very thin layer of hard red 
crystalline stalagmite. Exactly in the same condition as many of the Gibraltar bones. 
Only earth and stones. 
Fourth rib of Ursus. 
Twenty-five portions of the skeleton of a young Bear, and apparently all belonging to 
the same individual : the collection includes the proximal ends of both femora (head 
l"-65 in diam.) ; the greater part of the right mandible, containing the canine, third 
premolar, sockets of two small premolars, one close to the canine and the other to 
the 3 pm ; the diameter of the canine on the base of the enamel is 0"-7 x 0"-5. 
Fragments of the cranium and right and left third premolars of Ursus. 
Upper part of cranium with the bosses for the horns and a considerable part of the 
occipital, the distal end of the right femur with small part remaining of the outer 
condyle, the remainder having apparently been gnawed off, and four or five teeth 
of young C. tarandus? 
Large part of tibia, much gnawed and weathered, of Hyaena ?, rather larger and thicker 
than the one included in No. LXXV. ; gnawed fragment of horn of C. tarandus; 
small gnawed fragment of cannonbone of Capreolus (cf. Nos. LXXX. & LXXXVI.). 
Broken bones of Hares, Babbits, Birds, &c. ; fragment of rib of Ursus, light colour, and 
portion of a dorsal spine. 
Several bones of a very young Bear. A tibia belonging to this collection is drilled 
through the middle with a perfectly circular hole about i inch, in diameter, and 
exactly of the same size and in the same situation as in the opposite tibia, clearly 
belonging to the same animal contained in the find No. CVI1I. The edges of the
