material, or, in other words, 

 that the site was used as a 

 camping-ground subsequent 

 to these burials. In fact, 

 those who were engaged in 

 the work told me that the 

 presence of such a lead 

 might always be taken as 

 evidence that bones would 

 be found beneath. In other 

 parts, generally speaking, 

 the line of separation be- 

 tween the kitchen-midden 

 layer and the subjacent red 

 sand was fairly distinct. 



Below the red sand was a 

 horizontal band of travertine 

 limestone (plate iv.) vary- 

 ing in thickness from 6 in. 

 to 1 ft., which was of 

 moderately hard consistency 

 towards the northern end of 

 the section, but much softer 

 towards the opposite ex- 

 tremity. Underlying the 

 travertine was a layer of 

 sand and rubbly limestone, 

 the full depth of which was 

 not exposed by the section. 



On the occasion of my 

 second visit to the locality 

 on May 4, during which I 

 had the advantage of the 

 company of Mr. Howchin, 

 the cutting had advanced a 

 few yards farther into the 

 rising ground, and its ver- 

 tical face had consequently 

 increased in height, the in 

 crease being due to the 

 exposure of a greater thick- 

 ness of the layer of sand and 

 limestone rubble beneath 

 the travertine. The super- 

 jacent layers were unaltered 

 in their depth or relations. 

 Bones were still being met
