fragments of bones of animals, flint flakes, and about 30 large tools

270. Maltinka. — Traces of an Upper Paleolithic station were 

 located at the edge of the 40-m. terrace near this village, on the right 

 bank of the Belaia, near the second pond between the Maltinka and 

 Belaia. The finds occurred on a 300-m. stretch of plowed land. 



271. Mondy. — Typologically Paleolithic stone tools were found by 

 Chastokhin in 1887 on the left bank of the Oka River, a left tributary 

 of the Angara River. 



272. Mocgovala. — Traces of this Paleolithic site were found during 

 1937 by A. P. Okladnikov on the loo-m. terrace on the left bank of 

 the Mozgovaia River, a right tributary of the Angara, along its lower 

 course. This find is of particular significance, because it is the first 

 Paleolithic station reported in this area which lies about 1,800 kilo- 

 meters from Irkutsk. 



2/^. Podostroshnoe. — This Upper Paleolithic station, discovered 

 by A. P. Okladnikov in 1936, stands on the right bank of Angara on

 terrace at the delta of the Belaia. The cultural deposit lies more than 

 i.o m. deep under the Neolithic strata. M. M. Gerasimov in 1936

277. Cheremushnik. — Traces of an extensive Upper Paleolithic 

 site of Badai type (No. 256) were discovered on the plowed land 

 near Badai on the 60-m. terrace on the left bank of the Belaia. This 

 site lies in the Cheremushnik area 2 kilometers downstream from 

 Badai, near the Usolsk Salt Works. M. M. Gerasimov accumulated 

 here a large quantity of flakes and also of finished tools, mainly large 

 scrapers.
