| Title | Paper, 'Report on animal remains from the Har Dalam [Għar Dalam] Cavern, Malta. The organic remains' by John H Cooke and Arthur Smith Woodward |
| Creator | Cooke; John H (fl 1893) |
| Date | 1893 |
| Description | The authors write: 'The Har Dalam cave is situated in the eastern part of the island of Malta, near Marsa Scirocco Bay. The headlands around the bay are composed of Lower Coralline Limestone, capped by Globigerina Limestone. Numerous valleys intersect the land at right angles to the coast line, forming small creeks and bays at their embouchure. The Har Dalam gorge, in which the cavern is situated, is a valley of erosion which carries off the drainage of the land above, and was no doubt excavated at a time when the rainfall of Malta was much greater than at present.'
