gentlemen, but especially to Mr. Barber, who took very much 
trouble in securing the stone for us. The stone itself is five 
feet in length, and three of its sides are sculptured with that 
interlacing work, which was so common from the 7th to the 
10th century. If it has ever borne an inscription, it has been 
on the side which the friction of thousands of feet has rendered 
plain. You will remember that at Dewsbury there are some 
interesting fragments of Saxon sculpture. This is the only 
piece as yet discovered at Wakefield. It is by far the finest 
specimen of Saxon art that the Museum at York possesses.” 
The Rev. J. Kenrick then read the following papers:— 
The pamphlet presented by Mr. Pengelly, on the bones of 
extinct animals found in Kent’s Hole, Torquay, contains 
matter which will be interesting to palgeontologists, and 
specially to the members of this society, which was one of the 
first to which Mr. M’Enery’s discoveries were communicated. 
Among the remains found there were some teeth of an extinct 
carnivorous animal, originally supposed to be a bear, and 
named, from their peculiar form, Ursus cultridens, but subse¬ 
quently Machairodus latidens. The late Dr. Falconer had 
called in question the existence of these bones in Kent’s Hole, 
and thought that Mr. M’Enery had obtained them from 
Val d’Arno, near Florence, and mixed them with the other 
bones in his collection. It was Mr. Pengelly’s object to show 
that they were really found in Kent’s Hole, and to trace their 
history before and after the dispersion of M’Enery’s collection. 
After the publication of his paper he was informed by 
Professor Phillips, that there was some correspondence on this 
subject among the papers of the Y. P. S., and on examination, 
letters were found from Mr. M’Enery to the Rev. W. V. 
Harcourt, and from Dr. Buckland and Cuvier to Mr. M’Enery, 
which were communicated to Mr. Pengelly, and which 
completely established the fact that teeth of Machairodus had 
been found in Kent’s Hole. 
Of the coins on the table, one presented by the Hon. Payan 
Dawnay is a penny of Henry II. or III. The coins of these 
two Kings are literally, as well as figuratively, the crux of 
numismatists, and Mr. Longstaffe and Mr. Evans have written
