| Creator | Pengelly; William (1812-1894); geologist |
| Date | 3 August 1868 |
| Description | Monthly report of the superintendents of excavation. Steady progress has been made in the south-west gallery or chamber, with six-foot parallels being excavated. Bones are less abundant in the rock-like breccia than previous. Three flint implements have been found and are described: all three were found in the cave-earth deposit, with the first and second being good specimens, but the third had been broken by a workman. An enlarged outline tracing of an implement discovered on 4 July is provided. The cave earth has recently yielded examples of bony faeces.With an appended note: '"Mr Vivian is from home, hence this report is forwarded without his signature. WP"'. |
