frame was much smaller; but all other bones were in such frag- 

 mentary condition they could not be measured. 



There is a rock shelter a short distance down the river from the 

 Kamsey Cave and in the same ledge. It is 45 feet long, 15 feet deep, 

 and 8 feet high in front, the roof coming down to the floor at the 

 rear. There is nothing to show that it was ever used, even as a camp- 

 ing place. 



A fourth of a mile above this cave is another from which flows 

 a never-failing spring. There is a pile of ashes near the front, con- 

 taining some refuse, but these mark only the site of an occasional 

 camp, as the place could not be occupied in wet weather. 



GRAHAM CAVE 



On Graham's land, high up in a bluff facing Big Piney, opposite 

 the mouth of Spring Creek, is a small cave difficult to reach and not 

 suitable for occupancy. 



PILLMAN's. or spring creek, cave (25) 



At the mouth of Spring Creek, on land of John Pillman, near the 

 top of the bluff, is a cave with an entrance 30 feet wide and 30 feet 

 high. A steep rock ledge at the front offers an impassable obstacle 

 to any stock except goats. The front chamber is well lighted for a 

 distance of 80 feet, where it makes a turn. Bedrock is exposed near 

 the entrance and rises toward the rear, showing here and there 

 through the covering of earth, which is not more than 2 feet deep 

 anywhere. Water cracks appear even in the highest spots, proving 

 the floor to be saturated at times. There is considerable refuse inside 

 the cave, but none in front, and it is reported that human skeletons 

 have been found in it. If so they must have been on a ledge or in 

 a crevice; Plate 2, a^ shows the hill, from the west; plate 2, 6, the 

 entrance to the cave. 



Two large cairns stood on top of the bluff above the cave. So 

 far as can be determined in their dilapidated condition, there seems 

 to have been a row of stones inclosing a definite area, but it is im- 

 possible to ascertain with certainty whether this was the case. 



On a lower ridge, to the north, are three similar but smaller cairns. 

 These are constructed entirely of sandstone slabs, and there was 

 plainly some sort of system used in placing them ; but, as in the case 

 of the first, it can not now be determined whether there was a con- 

 tinuous wall, and, if so, whether it was more than one stone high. 



A village site is reported in the river bottom on David Thomas's 

 farm on the Big Piney, near Moab.
