and 2, and the implements found in the “wash” have a 
well-marked Upper Mousterian character. 
The fauna found by Miss Garrod was much the same 
at all levels and represented about twenty-five species, 
many of them now extinct. They include the wolf, bear, 
hyena, lynx, deer, horse, and elephant, and indicate a 
cold-temperate climate as then prevailing in southern 
Spain. 
In June, 1926, after firing a heavy blast of explosive 
gelatin in the hard rock, Miss Garrod uncovered with 
difficulty part of a human skull embedded in layer 4 and 
filled in with travertine. It had been cracked by the 
blast into several 
fragments. ; 0, | == DEvit's TOWER

mouth of the cave, 
but as it belonged to a very young individual it fell apart along the 
sutures, and the frontal and left parietal, together with those parts 
which are missing, were washed forward on to the terrace by the waters 
of the spring which converted the original sandy layer into travertine. 
The missing parts were probably carried further forward than the 
others, and so rolled down the slope and were lost. 
It is probable that the skull was already separated from the body 
when it lay in the cave, for if the whole skeleton had been present, 
some at least, of the bones must have been found. On the other hand,
