Abstract
THE Rev. Osmond Fisher makes the interesting suggestion that the curious trough at Dewlish, in which numerous remains of Elephas meridionalis were found, was an artificial trench, dug as a sort of pitfall to intercept and disable wild animals driven across it. Perhaps, as having seen the excavations made by Mr. Mansel-Pleydell, I may say a word on this point.
