FOSSIL HUMAN REMAINS AT VERO, FLORIDA 55 



edentates (including Mylodon), and a camel. Chlamytherium 

 was originally found on Peace Creek in deposits which were then 

 supposed to be Pliocene. In the same deposits was found a jaw 

 containing a tooth of an elephant which is quite likely E. imperator. 

 This species has not yet been found in No. 2 at Vero, but about 

 three miles west of the place Sellards found a lower jaw which be- 

 longs probably to this species. It is known from Dallas County, 

 Alabama, and from Charleston, South Carolina. The writer regards 

 it and camel remains as particularly indicative of the Af tonian fauna. 



It is possible that this fauna continued on for another stage 

 or two without great change, but by the time of the Illinoian drift 

 it had become essentially modified. 



6. The human bones appear to be of Pleistocene age.- — At present 

 I perceive no other reason for doubting this than that their presence 

 in No. 2 and No. 3 contravenes our present ideas regarding the 

 history of the human race.
