382 QUATEENARY HUMAN REMAINS IN CENTRAL EUROPE. 



Avhich had in ancient times caved in. There was no connection 

 between this shelter and the cave Bocko\'a-di'ra. Tlie caved-iu rocks 

 lay on dihivial loam. On the 22d of ]March, 11)04, the working-men 

 found human bones in a nook of the shelter and its side wall. These 

 lay in the loam and were for the most part crushed. Among the 

 parts better preserved is a calvarium of an adult. A skull of an 

 adult and one of a 3'oung subject, which lay a little to one side and 

 deeper, are almost wholly shattered. Besides the preceding the exca- 

 vation yielded a lower jaw, ulna, humerus, radii, parts of the pelvic 

 bones, a femnr, tibia, clavicles, vertebra^, and pieces of ribs. Of 

 animal bones the same layer showed, according to Knies and Maska, 

 those of Cams indpes, Canis lagopus, Canis lupus, JJrsus spelceus, 

 Lepiis oariahilis, Lagomys pusillus, Rangifer tarandus, Cervus alces, 

 and Bos priscus. A further fact of importance is the recovery with 

 the bones (which are preserved partly in the Museum in Usov, near 

 Olomouc and partly in the Knies collection) of several implements 

 of stone and reindeer antlers, which are evidently of diluvial origin. 

 In the absence of anvthing of archeological nature of a more recent 

 age we have to agree with the opinion of ]\Iaska that the find consists 

 of a triple burial, which dates, most i)rol>nbly, from the time of the 

 Magdalenian culture.

The discoveries dealt with in this chapter can not be includetl 

 among those surely quaternary ; they have either been thus designated 

 rhrough error, or it is impossible to determine their exact age on 

 account of insufficient stratigraphic data, while in a fcAv cases it is 

 impossible to judge of the value of the indications given about dis- 

 coveries made long time ago.

IIii))ia)i remains of Zitzlarice. 



The limestone crevices which are found on the right side of the 

 river Volinka, near the village Zuzlavice, have been explored by the 

 well-known paleontologist, J. N. Woldrich. According to the pub- 

 lished accounts of this observer there were collected in two of these 

 clefts and in the quaternary loam which covers the slope and the base 

 of the rocks more than 9,000 fragments of bones and about 13,000 

 teeth of quaternary animals, representing some 170 species, and with 

 these bones were recovered 150 implements of stone, 200 of bone, 

 about J:00 pieces of broken and in some instances worked bones, and 

 finally a quantity of pieces of a human skull. These fragments were 

 at the base of the rocks in a fossa, and near them were found broken 

 bones of a rhinoceros, as well as the remains of a hreplace.
