Man contemporaneous with Extinct Animals in South Africa. 15 



The greatest length of the core from the base to the outer curve 

 in a straight line is 343 mm., and from the posterior knob at the 

 base to the tip following the posterior curvature is 465 mm. 



C. antiqnus is so nearly intermediate between the two South 

 African living forms that one wonders if it may perhaps be the 

 ancestor of both. 



Taurotragus oryx. There are a number of bones of the Eland, 

 including the frontal region with horn cores. 



Cobus venterae, sp. nov. There are many horn cores of a species 

 of Cobus. It is somewhat intermediate between the Waterbuck 

 (C. ellipsipyrmnus) and the Lechwe (C. leche), but much nearer to

the latter. From the existing Lechwe it differs in the curve of the 

 horn and in the mode of implantation on the frontal bone. 



Besides these readily recognisable forms there are remains of a 

 number of small Carnivores and Ungulates, represented for the most 

 part by teeth. Much work yet remains to be done in identifying 

 these small forms. I failed to observe anything strikingly new, and 

 probably most belong to existing species. 



It is much to be regretted that the most interesting human 

 implements have been scattered. The only two stone implements 

 still left in the collection are a spear-head and a knife. The spear- 

 head is 8 inches in length, about 2^ inches in greatest width, and 

 about f inch thick at its thickest part. In section it is triangular, 

 the flat side having a bulb of concussion, and the other side formed 

 by the removal of two long flakes. The base has been trimmed by
