  <dc:title>Twenty-eighth 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. The excavations are ongoing in the 'Lecture Hall''. There is a deposit of breccia thought to be of high antiquity. Within the breccia, there are many bones and teeth from cave-bears, with one exception. 'Some of the canines of ursus spelaeus are of a great size,' and it is thought they were used for mastication in lieu of lost molars. The exception is a tooth of a cave hyena. Across many days, teeth have been found from: hyena, horse, bear, rhinoceros, fox, mammoth, and deer. Several bones contain teeth marks and some are cut longitudinally. </dc:description>
