Overview

Excerpt from On the Contents of a Bone Cave in the Island of Anguilla, West Indies The following memoir describes the fossil vertebrates, shells, and indications of human occupation discovered during the excavation of a cave in the West Indian island of Anguilla. The remains were first obtained in 1868, and brief notices of them have been made at various times since, but the publication of the full account was delayed in the hope that other objects might be added to the collection. The death of the gentleman who procured the specimens, and other causes having shown that no further exploration was practicable, the memoir was prepared and submitted to the Smithsonian Institution, for publication, in 1878. The other works in progress prevented the publication until the present time, but the interval has been taken advantage of by the author to revise the manu script and superintend the preparation of the plates.
