Ne,o Bone Cavern in Ireland. The
bone cave at Shandon, near Dungaryan,
in the county Of Waterford, accidently
discovered somo twenty years ago, was
the first Irish cave which produced an
Gene period. In It were found remains
Of the mammoth horse, bear. wolf and
reindeer. Another cave has recently
been found near Cappoquin, at a DIS
tance of abont seven miles from the
Shs ndon cave. This new cavern Is of
largo size, and appears to have Eoon Oc-
Cupied at Il very remote period by bears,
portions of Whose skeletons are to be
met with on the lower deposits of the
floor; bnt tho chief interest in this dis
covery rests in the fact that remains Of
tho great Irish elk (MegaccroS Hidernt-
cas- were found in it, III conjunction
with the bones of other deer and of
bears, and along with Il polished green
stone celt neOlithic) and several stone
rubbers. There were also some remark
able and strong evidences met with Of
the association Of man with tho great
Irish elk, for Professor Ieith Adams,
in whose preseuce these remains were
taken out of the cave, and by whom they
were packed up for further observation,
says that macy Of the homes Of the meg
ucerOS were evidently split for their
marrow, and several elk cannon-bones
were found fashioned into avis and
gauges, showing that was not only con-
tcmporancous with the giant stag Of
Ireland, but also may have i'll some
measure helped to eXterminate it. The
explorations of this cave arc still going
on, and they promise te opon out Il new
era In tho prehistoric history Of Ireland.
Ancient Monsters. Cope, of
Philadelphia, who is spending leisure
in California, gave some time ago to the
San Francisco Academy description
Of two fossil animals. One Of these was
an enormous vertebrate somewhat re-
sembling an aquatic kangaroo, named
the cdn'drdSdurNS SHprrmuS, whose neck
was nine feet in diameter, whose hind
legs were twenty feet loug, whose spi-
nal vertcbr;c were tifty-siN inches across
and which must have been scvcnty-two
feet long by measurements carefully
taken. This animal could walk In for
ty feet Of water and catch its prey with
its fOrc-pawS. lie also described an0th-
CT similar monster found, whose spinal
ycrtcDr;r were six feet across and whose
hind legs were forty feet long, with
cnrniycronS teeth placed in the upper
and lower jaws like shears, SO as to cut
up animal food by traversing each 9TH
in the most perfect manner. The bones
Of the lower half Of this animal were
solid and very heavy. to keep its feet
down in the water, while bones in the
upper half Of its body were built in
honcycomGcd layers rs thick as paste
board, strong, but very light and bnoy-
amt in water. This monster has been
named dmphic@iioS (ragiiiSSimus, and
must have been considerably over lou
feet in length. Both animals have
large md powerful tails like kangarooS.
anu when catching their iood in the
water, must have appeared rs ii on
three-leggcd stools, the tail acting as All
equal support Of the tripod.
