  <dc:title>Twentieth report of progress of excavations by William Pengelly and Edward Vivian, Torquay, to the British Association Kent's Cavern Committee</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Monthly report of the superintendents of exploration. Excavations have entered ground broken up by previous explorers. During the past month they found 165 flint flakes and chips - 130 of which were found in the black band below the stalagmite. The black band also yielded a considerable number of bones, some of which were split longitudinally. Finds have included the heel-bone of a man (according to Mr [William Henry] Corfield, the geological scholar of  Burdett-Coutts), and a bone fashioned into the shape of a '"harpoon"'. Comparisons are made between Kent's Cavern finds and figures 'by Sir [John] Lubbock in his "Prehistoric Times", page 80'. In the stalagmitic floor, part of a human upper jaw was also found, with four teeth. The red-deposit yielded a bone pin - two crude drawings depict this. </dc:description>
