Tue Gristy Bear (Ursus ferox, Race speleus). 
Remains of bears were met with in the lower portion of (No. 4) the stalagmitic 
shelf, close upon the gravel (No. 5). They were also found in the sandy earth 
(No. 3), among the blocks of stalagmite, also in No. 2, whilst a metatarsal is 
recorded from No. 1.3 
* The more fragmentary specimens—to wit, pieces and morsels of long bones, &c., must be admitted as 
doubtful. Their claims to belong to the Irish Elk rest mainly on size and external aspects. The latter 
refer to the blackened exterior and dendritic markings. The majority displayed well-pointed indications 
of great violence and solutions of continuity in the direction of their long axes. Of course the strati- 
graphical position of relics discovered subsequently in the debris thrown out of the cave must be uncertain. 
t Five left trochleas show that at least five individuals are represented by the relics. 
+ The dark external aspect of this bone (metatarsal) makes it uncertain whether it should be placed 
rather with the remains of No, 2.
