The part of the cavity in which these bones were found was 70 feet below the surface of the solid rock, 60 feet horizontally from the edge of the cliff where Mr. Whitby began to work the qnarry, sad 160 feet from the original edge by the side of Catwater. Every side of the cave was solid rock : the inside had no incrustation of stalactite, nor was there any external communication through the rocks in which it was imbeded, nor any appearance of an opening from above having been inclosed by infiltra tion. When, therefore, and in what sooner these bones came into that satiation, is atnotsg the secret wonderful operations of nature, which will probably never be re led to unkind."
