Fossil Mammatia associated with Stone Implements. 447 
physical features of the locality since the deposit was formed are 
entirely in accord with the idea of its being of very great age from an 
anthropological point of view. There consequently appears to be 
every justification for our belief that the evidence affords the strongest 
presumption of the great antiquity of man in this part of the world, 
and that further investigations, which we hope shortly to undertake, 
will reveal even more convincing proof on this head. 
LIST OF VERTEBRATE REMAINS. 
[By E. C. Cuuss. ] 
The following is a list of the vertebrates represented by teeth or 
bones, and identified as accurately as is possible with the scanty 
material at my disposal for comparison. ‘‘ R.M.” after a description 
indicates a specimen in the Rhodesia Museum. 
MAMMALIA. 
INSECTIVORA. 
An almost complete skull, two or three upper jaws, and numerous 
lower jaws of shrews. (R.M.) ° 
CARNIVORA. 
Felis leo, Linn. A right ramus and a few odd teeth. 
Felis spp. The canine of an animal about the size of a leopard, and 
one about the size of Felis ocreata. Also two lower jaws apparently 
belonging to Felis serval. 
Hyena sp. A right ramus, belongs to a hyena, but it does not 
agree exactly with H. crocuta. (R.M.) 
Viverride. The right ramus of a member of this family about 
the size of a large genet. 
RopeEn TIA. 
Tatera sp. Several upper and lower jaws. (R.M.) 
Otomys sp. A number of lower jaws showing the characteristic 
laminated molars and grooved incisors. There are also one or two odd 
incisors and molars. (R.M. 
us spp. Great numbers of lower jaws and a few portions of upper 
jaws belonging to several different-sized species. (R.M.) 
Bathyergide. A right ramus, without teeth, approximating to 
Georychus capensis in size. (RM. 
Hystriz sp. A complete ramus and an odd incisor. 
UNGULATA. 
Phacocherus ethiopicus, Pall. A right upper tusk and a portion of 
an upper tusk, showing scraping and chipping by human agency. A 
lower tusk. 
Elephas africanus, Blumen. The proximal portion of a humerus, 
and part of a scapula. 
Diceros, Gray. Two complete bones, a left humerus and a right 
tibia, of a rhinoceros, excavated by Mr. Franklin White, were presented 
by him to the Museum. (R.M. No. 546.) On comparing these with 
bones of the modern D. bicornis, I find they differ so materially as to
