HUMAN REMAINS AND ASSOCIATED FOSSILS.

FOTTERY, FLINT AND BONE IMPLEMENTS FROM STRATUM NO. 
3 OF THE SECTION. 
PI. 2r, fig. i; pi. 23, figs. 1-13. 
A considerable amount of broken pottery is found in this hori¬ 
zon particularly at the locality on the south bank 450 to 475 feet 
west of the bridge. Bone implements are also numerous and were 
made evidently to serve a diversity of purposes. Well worked 
flint arrowheads are found also as well as occasional spawls from 
the manufacture of flints. The pottery, flints and bone imple¬ 
ments, however, are not confined to this locality on the south bank 
but are found also in the same horizon on the opposite side of the 
canal. 
The fossils associated with the human remains in stratum No. 
3, which are numerous, are discussed in the subsequent pages. 
FOSSILS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HUMAN REMAINS. 
The fossils found at Vero are numerous and varied and the 
study of the collections obtained there necessarily requires time 
and the co-operation of specialists in various branches of paleon¬ 
tology. However, the following notes will serve in a general way 
to indicate the classes of plants and animals present in the deposits 
which contain the human remains. Enough of the fossils are listed, 
particularly of the turtles, birds and mammals, to fully establish 
the Pleistocene age of the formation. 
PLANT AND ANIMAL FOSSILS FROM STRATUM NO. 2 OF THE 
SECTION. 
PLANTS. 
PI. 29, fig. 5. 
Plant remains in stratum No. 2 of the section at Vero are not 
numerous. In this respect this horizon differs from the alluvial 
bed which follows in which is found an abundance of plant stems, 
seeds and at places well preserved leaves. The onlv recognizable 
plants obtained from this horizon are acorn cups, although in places 
are found stems and pieces of wood. The plant stems upon ex¬ 
posure to the air shrivel up; the wood also has a tendency to fall 
to pieces upon drying. 
INVERTEBRATES. 
Fresh-water invertebrates are abundant in stratum No. 2 of 
the section and have been collected from several places in the bank.
