The Condition of Kent's Cavern

Abstract

SINCE a recent visit to Kent's Cavern I have been wondering if it would be possible for something to done by which any important finds that may be made there could be brought to the notice of those interested in ancient man. The cave now seems to one of the sights of Torquay which any curious visitor can see, just as he visits the caves elsewhere when on a holiday. There is a well-informed man who shows the sights to visitors, and he stated to a party, of which I was one, that quite recently a jaw a human being had been found, and that this was the possession of a local collector. A human tooth has also been found. It seems highly desirable that the aw should be examined by a competent authority.
