    Journal No. 39 April 1953 FOREWORD Your Committee arc seriously perturbed about the condition of some of the club tackle. In the last issue of the Journal mention was made of certain damage to a rope -ladder and it has now been found that another is in an even worse state. Both of these ladders were fairly new and the damage is definitely not "fair wear and tear". It has therefore been decided that there must be more control over the tackle, and in the future it will only be available by booking and obtaining a key from the Gear Curator, Peter Harvey, or failing this from the Hon. Sec. David Willis reports that his recent club trip to Swildons did not attract a single member and although he is quite willing to continue to run club trips, suggests that it would be a great help if members who are interested in visiting any particular cave would get in touch with the Hon. Sec. so that trips on suitable dates can be arranged. We would like to congratulate Willie Station, Howard Kenney, Do nald Thomson, Phil Davies and Oliver Lloyd on the recent discovery of about 700 ft of new passages in Swildons. It should be mentioned that at the moment it is not possible for members of "comfortable girth" to get into the series (as a 'yard stick' we may mention that David Willis found he could only just get through), but it is gathered that modifications will be made in the future to enable the more 'normal types' to pass the tight spot, and we hope that it will then be possible to arrange a club trip to the discovery.

DOWN UNDER ALL OVER SRGWA Things have been quiet in Western Australia although the Group has still been continuing with their usual trip-a-month programme. During November/December Robert and Norman Poulter spent a month visiting Thailand. While there they managed to visit several caves in the north and south of the country and captured numerous biological specimens both on the surface and underground. All specimens have been lodged with the Australian Museum and copies of the collection list sent to one of the universities in Thailand with which Norm was liaising. The Group is currently planning an expedition to the Kununurra region of WA where caves have been rep~rted that do not appear in the Australian Karst Index.

    Gough's Old Cave - Its History

    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., [986, 17 (3). 250-266. GOUGH'S OLD CAVE - ITS HISTORY by D. J. IRWIN ABSTRACT During the latter half of lite 19th century Gough's Old Cave was variously known as The Great Stalactite Cavern, The New Great Stalactite Cavern and Gough's Stalactite and Stalagmite Cavern. The cave was probably shown lo visitors from about the late 18th century. It was certainly open for public viewing by 1869 and was then run by John Weeks. The well-known legend of the Jack and Nancy Beauchamp - Gough partnership is now questioned due to the emergence of new documentary evidence. The extensions made in the cave by Gough between 1877 and 1889 are described, together with accounts of visits by travellers and scientific organizations. Rivalry existed between Gough and the Cox brothers, rising to its peak in the late 1880s. The important extensions made in Gough's New Cave between 1892 and 1898 eclipsed the 'Old' cave, which was finally closed to the public in the early 20th century. This paper has been based on contemporary' accounts as far as possible, including newspapers, official documents and travel guides. INTRODUCTION In a previous paper Irwin (1986) quoted the Phelps (1836) account of those caves in the lower reaches of Cheddar Gorge that were known at the beginning of the 19th century. These were situated in or under the 'Ivy Chair' at the entrance to the Gorge in an area known then as Rock- End. All the cave entrances are included in sketches made in 1816 and 1834 by the Rev'd John Skinner.

    Palaeolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Areas

    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelacol. Soc, 19SlJ, 18(3), 367-389 PALAEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES OF THE MENDIP, BATH AND BRISTOL AREAS RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by R. W. MANSFIELD and D. T. DONOVAN Lists of references lo works on the Palaeolithic and Pleistocene of the area were published in these Proceedings in 1954 (vol. 7, no. 1) and 1964 (vol. 10, no. 2). In 1977 (vol. 14, no. 3) these were reprinted, being then out of print, by Hawkins and Tratman who added a list ai' about sixty papers which had come out between 1964 and 1977. The present contribution is an attempt to bring the earlier lists up to date. The 1954 list was intended to include all work before that date, but was very incomplete, as evidenced by the number of older works cited in the later lists, including the present one. In particular, newspaper reports had not been previously included, but are useful for sites such as the Milton Hill (near Wells) bone Fissure, as are a number of references in serials such as the annual reports of the British Association and of the Wells Natural History and Archaeological Society, which are also now noted for the first time. The largest number of new references has been generated by Gough's Cave, Cheddar, which has produced important new material as well as new studies of finds from the older excavations. The original lists covered an area from what is now the northern limit of the County of Avon lo the southern slopes of the Mendips. Hawkins and Tratman extended that area to include the Quaternary Burtle Beds which lie in the Somerset Levels to the south of the Mendips, and these are also included in the present list.
