Abstract
DURING the past winter months, the authorities now in charge of the caves, usually known as Gough's Caves, at Cheddar decided to widen the entrance way in order to cope with the increased tourist traffic. It will be recalled that discoveries of flint implements and the bones of living and extinct animals were made in the course of the excavations necessary to open up the cave to the public, and further, that in the early years of the present century, portions—the remainder is still in situ—of a human skeleton of upper palæolithic date were found.
