It is worthy of especial notice that the ursine remains from No. 3 were of the 
same mineral condition and outer coloration as those from No. 4—to wit, the 
broken right ulna (Nos. 121 and 122) and the fragments of a left humerus (Nos. 
123 to 125), which were found in No. 3, and the fractured left ulna (Nos. 47, 49, 
and 50) and the pieces of a right humerus (Nos. 4, 5, and 6) from No, 4 deposit. 
Now, whilst the bones met with among the detached blocks of stalagmite of No. 3 
were fractured by violence, the others in No. 4, the stalagmitic shelf, were more or 
less entire. No doubt, all belonged to an individual or individuals which had 
originally left their bones in No. 4 untila portion of the latter was broken up, when 
they participated in the injuries to which the stalagmitic shelf was subjected. 
The bears’ remains clearly show the presence of at least two individuals. The 
only parts, however, available for specific determination are the molars. The man- 
dibles and bones clearly show that their owners were of large dimensions, and 
equalled the Ursus speleus in size. This will be apparent from the bones and 
teeth represented on Plate XIV.—to wit, the left pisiform, fig. 5, left astragal, and 
navicular, figs. 8 and 2, and the ungual phalanx, fig. 4. 
The os penis, fig. 6, has been compared by Dr. Carte with that of U. maritimus, 
* Stratigraphical position doubtful, possibly from No. 2.
