142 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT. 
the slope of the bed at this place, however, this bone lay at an 
actual level fully two feet lower that the ulna. The jaw and the 
parts of the skull were found chiefly between the ulna and the 
radius and from a few inches to two feet farther back in the bank. 
One of the foot bones, a fifth metatarsal, was taken about eight 
feet east of the ulna and at an actual level, owing to the change in 
slope, above that of the radius and approximately the same as 
that of the ulna. Above the human skeleton four feet of alluvial 
material are found at this place, consisting of alternating layers 
of sand and muck, which in places grade into soft fresh-water marl 
having a thickness of as much as two feet. Fossil plants including 
leaves, stems and seeds are found in the muck bed. The plants, 
apparently, are but little changed from their original condition. 
While excavating in this bank in June, addititonal pieces of the 
skull were found as well as a part of the shaft of the right femur 
and an additional incisor tooth. 
By reference to the text figures and to the description of the 
fossils it will be seen that the bones of this skeleton lying at the 
contact line between strata 2 and 3 are found on either side and 
around the bones found in place in the older stratum No. 2 The 
position leads to the suggestion that the bones lying at the base of 
stratum No. 3 were derived from stratum No. 2, and that only one 
skeleton is represented by the two finds. This may be true, since 
there is no duplication of parts, and a large individual is repre¬ 
sented in each instance. It is well to remember, however, that 
human remains characterize stratum No. 3. A fact indicated by an 
abundance of pottery, many bone implements, arrowheads and 
other small flints.

While excavating in the north bank of the canal 419 feet west 
of the bridge, Mr. Weills in April, 1916, obtained at the contact 
line between strata Nos. 3 and 2 a single human toe bone. From 
the same bank 450 feet west of the bridge and at approximately the 
same place in the section Mr. Weills obtained in June, 1916, an 
unworn human molar tooth. Since the canal at this place is fully 
100 feet wide from bank to bank it is doubtful if these specimens, 
although at the same place in the section, belong to the skeleton 
found directly opposite in the south bank.
