LICKS AND CAVES OF LOWER OHIO VALLEY 159 



111 the extension to the Phelps Cave were found the remains of a black bear. 

 These have a decidedly ancient appearance, being in some instances cemented 

 together with stalagmitic material, and have been considerably altered. They 

 are probably Pleistocene in age. 



The conclusions drawn from the results of our own and the examinations 

 of others are that there exist in the licks and caves of the Lower Ohio Valley 

 an enormous number of bones of land animals, some of them going back to 

 the Pleistocene, and with the more recent of these that are found in caves 

 there are certainly associated human remains in considerable numbers. 



The remains of the lower animals belong chiefly to those which either per- 

 ished from being trapped in sinks or to those which were dragged into caves 

 by predaceous animals. In some instances they belong to those animals which 

 harbored in caves. The human remains are mainly of those people who sought 

 shelter at the entrances or who were buried there or in the more remote 

 recesses by their fellows.

CORRELATION OF THE JURASSIC FORMATIONS OF WESTERN CUBA 

 BY BARNUM BROWN AND MARJORIE O'CONNELL 



(Abstract) 



This paper presents the results of observations made by Mr. Brown during 

 five journeys to Cuba covering eleven months of field-work and exploration in 

 those provinces west of Camaguey and of three years of laboratory study of 

 his collections of rocks and fossils by Miss O'Connell. The presence of the 

 Oxfordian, Lusitanian, Kimmeridgian, and Portlandian divisions of the Juras- 

 sic has been established by the fossil faunas, and the correlation of the Cuban 

 formations with synchronous ones in Europe and Mexico has been effected. 

 A large ammonite fauna, including many new species, has been described and 

 accurate intercontinental correlations have been made possible by the recog- 

 nition in Cuba of the same faunal zones as were established by Oppel, Quen- 

 stedt, and later workers in the Swiss and Swabian Jura and southern France. 

 The physiography, field relations, palatogeography, and correlations are shown 

 in diagrams and maps. 



Presented by the junior author in abstract from notes. Lantern slides 

 were used in illustration. 



Discussed by A. C. Lane, T. Wayland Vaughan, and Charles Schuehert. 



Discussion 



Dr. Vaughan said that the Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary marine faunas 

 of Central America and the West Indies find their I^uropean analogues in 

 southern, not northern, Europe. 



Dr. Schuchert : It is interesting to note how each new discovery of Meso- 

 zoic marine faunas in the Antillean and Central American regions is more or 

 less decidedly in harmony with southern European ones. As we are here 

 dealing with shallow-water faunas, they fall in line with the previous ones,
