An interesting lecture, " On the Ossiferous Caverns and Fissures of

After a short notice of the principal Devonshire caverns, the lecturer minutely described the remarkable fissure recently discovered at Brixham, where the well known flint knives were again undoubtedly found associated with the fossil remains of extinct animals.
