 mass of yellow clay with stones separates the deposits of Palaeo- 

 lithic age from those that contain the relics of Neolithic and

 mere shallow rock- shelter, situated some little distance from the 

 Trou Magrite, to be described in the following chapter) the 

 same yellow clay with stones is found. It is overlaid with a 

 loose superficial dttris of fallen stones, amongst which occur two 

 bone-beds containing human bones and relics, which are referred 

 by M. Dupont to the Neolithic Age.
