Mr. referred to a visit which he had paid some years ago to the part of Spain referred to in the paper, and described the curious characters of the rocks, and the occurrence in them of extraordinary caverns of great depth.

Mr. inquired how near to the spot in question remains of Elephas primigenius had been found in the south of France. He also inquired whether the small curved tooth might not be the tusk of a little Elephant.

The, in reply, stated that the Mammoth had occurred in France near Lyons, where Dr. Falconer had identified teeth in the museum. In Western Europe the species had not previously been met with south of the Pyrenees. Some of the bones were in red soil; one femur was incrusted with calamine. The small tooth was of a form which seemed to show that it was the canine of a Hippopotamus; and there was no reason why it should not be so.
