BONES IN CAVES OF ITALY, STYRIA, CARNIOLA, CROATIA, &c. 16l 
near Nice, we have osseous deposits of two eras, one recent and post¬ 
diluvian, the other immediately antediluvian. 
In Italy, M. Cuvier mentions several caverns containing similar 
deposits of bones, to which I am enabled to add, on the authority of 
Mr. Pentland, that the bones of ruminating animals have been found 
united by stalagmite to a breccia, like that of Nice and Antibes, in the 
Grotto Della Molpa, at Cape Palinurus, in the kingdom of Naples; 
and that in the Sabine Mountains, not far from Tivoli, near the town 
of Palombaro, there is a cave in which the remains of the bear have 
been found incrusted with stalagmite, and amongst them a jaw which 
is in the collection of Professor Canali, of Perugia. 
In the gorge, at Peckaw, in Styria, by which the Mur runs down 
from Brack to Gratz, there is a lofty vertical cliff of Alpine limestone, 
in the perpendicular face of which I observed the mouths of several 
caverns ; some of these have been found to contain also the bones of 
the great extinct species of bear. The position of these caves with 
respect to this diluvian gorge is analogous to that of the caves in the 
cliffs that flank the valley of Muggendorf, in Pranconia, and of the 
Avon, at Clifton. 
An account has recently been published of bones of the same kind 
of bear discovered at Adelsberg, in Carniola. And a breccia, like that 
of Gailenreuth, and containing also the bones of bears, has been found 
in the mountain of Ischuber, in Croatia.

caves and fissures, extending as they do over England, Spain, France, 
Italy, Dalmatia, Croatia, Carniola, Styria, Austria, Hungary, Poland,
