ACCOUNT OF FOSSIL TEETH AND BONES 
yellowish clay and sand, which was partially agglutinated 
into a hard breccia: they lay without any order, or relative 
proportion to each other, were for the most part broken, 
and some of them rolled. 
7. In Bavaria between Kahldorf and Beiterbuck, on the surface 
of the hills that bound the valley of Eichstadt. These were 
buried in a bed of sand, and mixed with the bones of 
elephants and stags. 
8. On the w r est base of the Hartz Forest, Blumenbach has de¬ 
scribed, in his Specimen, 2. Archaeologia; Telluris, a mass of 
bones belonging to the hyaena, elephant, and rhinoceros, 
discovered in 1808 between Osterode and Dorste, and im¬ 
bedded in diluvial mud. 
9. In Italy, M. Pentland has found, in the Museum at Florence, 
the head and lower jaw of an hyaena, and the remains of a 
bear, tiger, elephant, rhinoceros, and hippopotamus, from 
the sand and loam beds of the Val d’Arno. 
The first three of these cases appear to have been dens like the 
cave at Kirkdale; the 4th and 5th have possibly received their bones 
in the manner I shall hereafter point out when speaking of the caves 
at Plymouth; the last four are deposits of diluvial detritus, like the 
surface gravel beds of England. 
The bones of the hyaena, however, had not been discovered in the 
diluvial detritus of this country till the spring of last year, 1822, when 
Mr. Andrew Bloxham, by mere accident, brought me some bones 
from the clay in which they so often find the remains of elephant 
and rhinoceros at Lawford, near Rugby, that I might inform him
