    J. J. Sarris Teall—Effect of Earth-Movements. 349 found in both. The opening into the larger cave was originally a mere crevice four to six inches wide, requiring many tons of cliff to be removed ere we could effect an entrance. Even then, for some 20 feet, it was but a natural " tunnel," too small, in most parts, either to creep or turn in. No large animals could possibly have entered there; so that the presence of their bones beyond, more or less imbedded in stalagmite, proved that some other entrance, not yet detected, must once have existed. From one of the ramifications, we extracted almost the entire skeleton of a Wolf. Its bones were intermingled with those of a Roebuck, on which it had probably been feeding. The Wolf's skull was a little over three-fourths the size of a full-grown male Arctic specimen. A single canine tooth, belonging to a much larger Wolf, was found at no great distance, and near to the place where the Lynx bones were imbedded. I see no reason to doubt that the Lynx may have roamed through- out our forests and mountain glens, along with the Wolf and the Bear, till a comparatively recent period, just as it still does in Norway ; albeit its origin in Great Britain probably dated from the time when these islands were united to the Continent.

Framework Document 2 is an introduction to the natural environment landscape, biodiversity and historic environment datasets and developed the concept of GI Environmental Character Areas based on the quality and quantity of the natural environment assets.

ACTION — JBiIIs to provide info to new members and add them to the email list. 4. Verbal report of last year’s two outdoor meetings was given by Peter Garner. Peter summarised the visits to Central Hi||s woodlands and a glow- worm search and felt they were most interesting and worthwhile. 5. Reports and recommendations from the Panel.
