| Creator | Pengelly; William (1812-1894); geologist |
| Date | 12 March 1872 |
| Description | Monthly report of the superintendents of excavation. They are still occupied with work in the Long Arcade, which was not productive in February due to large masses of limestone that had to be blasted to be removed. The cave-earth is considered not as rich as other parts of the cavern. During February, they found: teeth of hyena, horse, rhinoceros, bear, and mammoth; antlers; large bones; one flint implement; and one flint flake.
