substance except the enamel. No large bones have yet been 

 obtained, and those observed in the deposit are fragmentary and 

 seem to have suffered transportation. The country rock is granite, 

 and the locality and neighbourhood for a considerable distance are 

 very level. 



Taking into consideration the physical conformation of the 

 locality, the absence of any considerable stream, and that the 

 covering of the bone-deposit largely consists of material derived 

 from the erosion of granite, it may be safe to conclude that this 

 deposit belongs to the earliest post-tertiary period. Its further 

 exploration, therefore, might yield valuable scientific results. 



?>Ir. Taylor has expressed an intention of making further 

 explorations in the deposit as convenience permits, when more 

 important discoveries may be made.
