ossiferous fissure. It is situated on an isolated hill near the village of Santenay 
(Cote-d’Or), and was visited in 1876 by the Geological Society of France, on the 
occasion of the “Reunion Extraordinaire” at Chalons-sur-Saone, when the questions 
to which it gave rise led to an interesting discussion,

The hill is a few miles south of Chalons, and rises to the height of 1640 feet, 
its summit forming a nearly level platform, some 1030 feet above the surrounding 
plain. On all sides its slopes are steejD, except on the one by which it is connected 
with the range of the Cote-d’Or. On the south side of the hill is an ordinary 
bone cave {Grotte de Saint Jean), in which M. Hamy found remains of— 
Felis leo [F. spelcea). Equus caballus. 
Canis lupus. Cervus elaphus (var. Canadensis), 
„ vulpes. Bovidee of the size of Bos taurus. 
Ursus (probably U. ferox). 
There is another cave (Grotte de St. Aubin), on the opposite or northern side 
of the hill, containing the remains of Bears, Horse, Elephant, Rhinoceros, and Ox. 
In some sands outside the cave, large horns of Cervus megaceros were found. 
Close on the summit of this hill, which consists of strata of the middle oolites, at a 
spot called La Pointe-du-bois, is a fissuret on the surface. It was filled with a breccia 
composed of the fragments of the adjacent rocks, embedded in a yellow or brownish 
earth, with bones which were determined by Professor A, Gaudey to be those of—

t It is not said whether it is a fissure of water erosion or a fissure of fracture. That does not, 
however, affect the argument.
