The small peninsula situate nearly opposite to this cave, presents several other caves, as the _Schœnstein_, or _Beautiful Rock_, which contains seven contiguous caverns. The _Brunnenstein_, or _Fountain Rock_, in which, according to Esper, there are only found bones of known species, such as badgers, dogs, foxes, hogs, and deer; but Esper had too little anatomical knowledge for his testimony to be entirely relied on with respect to this. These bones are sometimes encrusted with stalactite. It contains also the _Holeberg_, or _Hollow Mountain_, in which eight or ten caves form a series of 200 feet in length, with two entrances. Bones of the same bears as at _Gaylenreuth_, are found here in various lateral depressions; and there are also deer and hogs.--The _Wizerloch_, so named from an ancient Sclavonic deity formerly worshipped there, the most dismal cavern of the whole country, situate in its most elevated part, and in which some vertebræ have been found. It is more than 200 feet long. The _Wunderhœhle_, which takes its name from its discoverer, has been known since 1773: its extent is 160 feet.--Lastly, the Cave of _Klaustein_, consisting of four grottoes, and upwards of 200 feet deep. Bones have been found in the third grotto, and most abundantly towards its extremity. It might be supposed that the name _Klaustein_ signified _Claw-rock_, and it would thus accord very well with a place where, without doubt, as at Gaylenreuth, a multitude of ungual phalanges of bears and animals of the tiger kind have been found. But M. Goldfuss asserts, that it was called _Klaustein_, or _St Nicholas’s Rock_, after a chapel of this name, which formerly stood upon it.--There are still the _Geiss-knok_, or _Goat Cave_, and a cave discovered in 1793. M. Rosenmüller found in them two human skeletons already covered with stalactite. The country which surrounds this small peninsula has itself several caves, independently of that of _Gaylenreuth_, as those of _Mockas_, _Rabenstein_, and _Kirch-ahorn_, three villages, situate, the first to the south, and the other two to the north-east of Gaylenreuth. Bones were formerly found in the first. The last bears in the country the expressive name of _Zahn-loch_, or _Tooth Cave_; it also bears the name of _Hohen-mirschfeld_, a village on whose ground it is situate; and the country people have long been in the habit of seeking in it those bones, which they imagined to be medicinal. MM. Rosenmüller and Goldfuss have in fact found bear and tiger bones. There are two others in the territory of the same village, of which the one named _Schneider-loch_ (_Tailor’s Hole_), is said to have furnished the vertebræ of an elephant. That of _Zewig_, close upon _Waschenfeld_, at the very edge of the _Wiesent_, is nearly 80 feet deep; and it is said that skeletons of men and wolves were found in it.
