Thirty-fourth report of progress of excavations by William Pengelly and Edward Vivian, Torquay, to the British Association Kent's Cavern Committee Monthly report of the superintendents of exploration. Exploration into the South-West gallery. Lists the different layers of deposits found: first floor is granular stalagmite, second floor is crystalline stalagmite, third floor is coherent rock-like breccia, and the fourth floor is a breccia compound. Bones are very abundant in the rock-like breccia layer, '"they are lying about just as if they had been thrown there with a shovel."' Breccia containing bones have been preserved and some portions have been sent to the Secretary's residence. The bones lie confusedly together, not in anatomical positions. A single piece of charcoal was found in the granular stalagmite layer, and was the only indication of the presense of man. 5 May 1868
