LOCATION OF HUMAN REMAINS. 
(DESCRIBED IN THE TEXT. PP. I4O-I42.) 
Plate 17. 
Fig. 1 : Photograph of the south bank of the canal from about 
469 to 478 feet west of the bridge to show the place of human re¬ 
mains at the contact line between strata 2 and 3. Although taken 
at a different time this photograph supplements that of plate 16. 
Stratum No. 2 may be seen in this photograph as the brown sand 
rising abruptly in passing from left to right. Stratum No. 3 of the 
general section presents a laminated appearance characteristic of 
that deposit which consists of alternating layers of sand and muck. 
The proximal part of a left ulna is seen at (1) ; the proximal part 
of a shaft of a left femur at (2), and the left radius lies at (3). 
Subsequently parts of the skull and other bones were taken from 
farther back in the bank. The original surface is indicated approx¬ 
imately by the tape line, material above this level having been 
thrown out by the dredge. Scale of photograph, 1 inch equals 
about 2.2 feet. The vertebiate fossils associated with the human 
remains in this stratum are listed on page 158. 
Fig. 2. Photograph of the south bank connecting the expos¬ 
ures shown by pi. 16 and fig. 1 of pi. 17. At the left, is seen stra¬ 
tum No. 2 (1) ; at the right (6) the brown sand of this stratum 
again comes into view. For a few feet the alluvial bed No. 3 of 
the geneial section rests upon the marine shell marl, stratum No. 
2 at this place being entirely cut out. See text-figure 6, p. 137. 
Scale of photograph, 1 inch equals 2.6 feet.
