FIG. 1. — EXPOSURE OF THE SOUTHERN BANK A FEW FEET IN THE REAR OF THE SPOT 

 WHERE VERO SKELETON I WAS FOUND 



Curved line, with a white spot underneath, in the middle, was made with a piece of wood by Mr. 

 Frank Ayors to indicate the position of the skeleton (which he discovered and removed from the 

 bank). The uppermost portion of the photograph reaches the surface of the ground. Scale 1:13 



FIG. 2.— EXPOSURE OF THE SOUTHERN BANK A SHORT DISTANCE (PROBABLY LESS THAN 

 6 FEET) IN THE REAR OF WHERE VERO SKELETON I WAS DISCOVERED 



The photograph shows well the dark layer No. 2, with the lighter sand and marl above. The left 

 half of the exposm-e here shown was niade with the help of a light fork, the right half with that of 

 a hoe, showing how moderate is the Induration of these deposits. The marl of the top layer was 

 here of the consistency of soft mortar which could be readily crushed or molded in the hand
