JOURNAL OF THE PLYMOUTH INSTITUTION. 
With the single important exception of the Brixham Windmill 
Hill cave, almost all the bone caverns of the county are represented 
in the Museum of the Plymouth Institution, and the following is 
an outline of the leading features of this part of the collection. 
Most of the older hones from Oreston are mere fragments, the relics 
of what was once a fine collection. The bones in the Museum 
generally are either marked in full or with initials indicating their 
origin — 0., Oreston; P., Pomphlett; H., Hoe; S., Stonehouse; 
Y., Yealmpton ; C, Chudleigh. The Ash Hole (except the smaller) 
and Kent's Cavern bones are for the most part marked in full. 
Oreston, including Pomphlett. — Remains of mammoth, wolf, 
hyaena, bear, rhinoceros, aurochs, great fossil ox, long-fronted ox, 
red deer, horse (fossil and plicated toothed), ass, birds, &c. The 
later additions presented by Mr. R. Bayly and Mr. J. Goad. 
Hoe. — Mammoth, whale, hysena, &c. Presented by Mr. J. Gill 
and Dr. E. Moore. 
Stonehouse. — Rhinoceros, red deer, great fossil ox, horse, ass, 
&c. Presented by Mr. C. Spence Bate and Mr. P. Brent. 
Mount Wise. — Deer. Presented by Rev. W. Sharnian. 
Yealmpton. — Hyaena, wolf, ox, badger, fox, sheep, birds. Pre- 
sented by Mr. J. C. Bellamy. 
Ash Hole, Brixham. — Badger, fox, raven, arvicolae, &c. 
Chudleigh. — Bear, sheep, &c. Presented by Mr. J. F. Webb. 
Kent's Cavern. — Prom this cave there are two collections, each 
interesting not only in itself, but also historically. The first was 
presented by Mr. Northmore about 1824-5, and includes bones of 
rhinoceros, bear, hyajna, deer, ox, horse, and two fragments assigned 
by him to hippopotamus.* The other collection is the gift of the 
Rev. J. Mc Enery, and from its peculiar interest, I annex a copy of 
the original memorandum relating thereto : 
"Organic Remains from Kent's Cave. — No. 1. Tooth of the 
superior jaw of Rhinoceros worned down by use. 2. Molar of 
Inferior Jaw of Rhinoceros. 3. Molar of infr r jaw of Elk. 4.

* See ante. Mr. H. C. Hodge tells me the Museum once contained un- 
doubted examples of hippopotamus teeth, though he has no knowledge of 
the locality. These teeth have disappeared.
