Strépyan, Chellean, and Achuelian I. But the deposits in which 
one might expect to find the Mousterian, Aurignacian, Solutréan, 
and Magdalenian are either sterile or absent. In the Tellier section 
at Saint-Achuel, we find not only the eolithic, Strépyan, Chellean, 
and Acheulian I industries in regular section, but also Acheulian IT, 
Mousterian, and Magdalenian in stratigraphic position, the only 
industries absent being the Aurignacian and Solutréan. 
Fortunately for the science, other valley deposits supply the in- 
dustries that are missing from Helin and Saint-Acheul. Among the 
paleolithic stations of lower Austria, those situated in the loess at 
Willendorf, left bank of the Danube, about 20 kilometers above 
Krems, are exceedingly productive. Until 1908 only two stations

were known, the Grossenstein brick works to the south and the Ebner 
brick works north of the village. Recently the opening of a railroad 
from Krems to Grein uncovered seven more stations in the vicinity 
of Willendorf. One of these is near the Grossenstein brick works; a 
second, explored in 1908 by Drs. H. Obermaier and J. Bayer, seems 
to be the continuation of the Ebner station. This second station is at 
present the most important of all. Here nine superimposed culture 
layers were determined. The loess deposits at this station are about 
18 to 20 meters thick. 
The culture horizons are situated from 2 to 8 meters below the 
surface. They are recognized by a brownish color and the presence 
of charcoal as opposed to the light yellow color of the rest of the loess.
