Very few bird bones were found, due no doubt in part to the fact 

 that being fragile they were not preserved, although birds were 

 probably never a very common article of diet in this region. The 

 only bird bones found were the comparatively large and heavy wing 

 and leg bones of the wild turkey {Meleagms gallapavo.) 



The only fish bones found were mandibles of the gar pike (L&pisos- 

 teus osseus Lin.). The absence of other fish bones may almost cer- 

 tainly be attributed to their extremely fragile nature, which makes 

 them, of all animal bones, the least adapted to preservation.
