hog, goat, hedgehog, common bat, horse-shoe bat, mole, shrew, 
water-vole, field-vole, bank-vole, hare, rabbit ; with various birds. 
Of these the remains of man, deer, ox, hyaena, and hog were 
found in every part of the cave ; while the wolf and fox were 
absent only from the southern chamber. The mole, shrew, and

was only found in the middle and southern part of the gallery. 
The birds were almost wholly in the cave-earth, and in association 
with this also were the remains of the hare, rabbit, and dog.

the so-called "Keltic shorthorn" the dog, and the rabbit. Now it
