Two ordinary bone-caves occur upon the oppositesides of the hill, containing remains of the horse, wolf,fox, bear, lion, deer, ox, elephant, and rhinoceros. The fissure under consideration is near the summitof the hill, and is filled with a breccia— composed of the fragments of the adjacent rocks, em-bedded in a 3^ellow or brownish earth, with bones which Evidences of a Deluge in Europe. 259 Grette lit. h^P)iinte S^ ViUaqe de Santenaif.

That it is outside of the Alpine glaciatedregion, and could not have been overtopped by floods in theSaone, caused by a glacial dam at Lyons. 2. That, as therewere no entire skeletons in the fissure, and indeed none in anyof the similar fissures in France, the bones could not haveaccumulated by the chance falling in of animals. The boneswere without order and in no possible relative That, under extreme glacial conditions, herds of such ani-mals would have not resorted to high hills, but would haveretreated to the open plains. It is inconceivable that underany ordinary circumstances the predaceous animals and theirvictims should have congregated together on the summit ofa high, steep, and isolated hill. 4.
