AMARANTHACEAE 
Amaranthus blitoides S. Watson in Proc. Amer. 
Acad. 12 (1877) 273. 
One specimen was found in stratum V. 
Amaranthus hybridus Linnaeus Sp. Pl. (1753) 
990. 
This species was found only in stratum I. 
Amaranthus Powellii §. Watson in Proc. Amer. 
Acad. 10 (1875) 347. 
This is one of the most common plants in the deposit 
and is represented by material from strata II, [11, V 
and VI. 
Amaranthus sp. 
A specimen of Amaranthus from stratum IV was too 
fragmentary for specific identification. 
Plant remains representative of the centrosperms were 
found repeatedly in the Bat Cave excavation, probably 
because of their usefulness as food in an area where there 
is no surplus of wild food plants. Here again similarity 
to the present vegetation in the area of Bat Cave is 
apparent. 
SAXIFRAGACEAE 
Ribes spp. 
Ribes (aureum?) wood came from strata I, II and IV, 
while two specimens of Rvbes, unidentified as to species, 
were recovered from strata I and VI. 
ROSACEAE 
The family Rosaceae is represented by a single speci- 
men of wood from stratum I.
