140 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT. 
DISCOVERY OF BONE IMPLEMENTS IN STRATUM NO. 2 . 
Text-figure 6: pi. 21 , figs. 4 and 7. 
With the small flints obtained from sifting the sands in which 
the human bones were imbedded, was found a piece of a bone im¬ 
plement. Subsequently while sifting the sand from this stratum 
about ten feet farther to the west (475 feet west of the bridge) 
a second small implement, and also a small flint was found. The 
bone implements are polished and nicely finished. The second 
implement found which is practically complete, is sharp pointed 
at one end and beveled at the other, probably for insertion into a 
shaft. While neither of these implements were found in place, 
the sand was carefully handled and there was little or no chance 
of their coming from any stratum other than No. 2 of the section. 
The fossils found at this place include the following: Elcphas 
columbi, part of teeth; Odocileus sp., teeth; Equus sp., foot bone; 
Dasypus sp., dermal plate; Chlamythcriuni septcntrionalis, foot 
bone; Didelphis Virginian a?, tooth; Sylvilagus sp., teeth, snake, 
vertebrae; turtle, parts of carapace; alligator, teeth; and acorns 
and plant stems. 
FIRST DISCOVERY OF HUMAN REMAINS IN STRATUM NO. 3 - 
PI. 17, fig. 1; pi. 18, fis. 2-3; pi. 19, figs. 1-3; pi. 21, figs. 2, 9. 
In February, 1916, Mr. Ayers obtained a human right ulna 
which, although not found in place, was recognized as having been 
derived from the bank, since the degree of mineralization was 
similar to that of the associated vertebrate fossils. The skeleton 
from which this bone came, however, was not located at that time. 
Again in April, 1916, Mr. Ayers found the distal end of a humerus, 
which, although not in place, had recently fallen from the bank. 
The discovery of this bone led to the location in the bank of other 
bones belonging to the same skeleton to which belongs also the 
ulna found three months earlier. The place of these bones in the 
section may be seen from the photograph (fig. 1, plate 17), which 
shows the left ulna, femur and radius as they lay in the bank. All 
of these bones were at the base of stratum No. 3, lying at the contact 
line between this and the next older stratum. By reference to 
the general sketch showing the canal banks, (fig. 2) and. to the 
more detailed sketch (fig. 6) it will be seen that at this place the
