The best examined diluvial places of discovery (reindeer period) in 
Germany, on the Schasteu Quelle, gives only chipped, no polished stone 
implements, no pottery, no dog. 
In the celebrated caves, Ofnet, Hohlefels, Raubershohle, in the layer 
of discovery of the diluvial man, chipped stone implements were found 
with pottery, but the pottery is much later and belongs mostly to the 
Hallstate period. From the Kesslerloch I have myself found a frag- 
ment of pottery, but it is much more recent. Where fragments of 
pottery have been found in Germany together with remains of diluvial 
man, the fragments of pottery are, in my opinion, decidedly much 
later. All clean places of discovery in undisturbed diluvial layers 
yield no pottery. Fragments of pottery are wanting also in the station 
lately so much talked of, containing mammoth, etc., in Piedmont (v. 
my book, II, p. 493). 
II. Has pottery been found in layers with mammoth, rhinoceros and 
cave bear, ete., in German caves ? 
As above mentioned mammoth, rhinoceros, cave bear, have been 
found with pottery in the same layer, but not contemporaneously, the 
potsherds are undoubtedly of much more recent date. The layers in 
question were not undisturbed ; in the undisturbed layers at Schaff- 
hausen, no fragments of pottery are found. 
III. Has polished stone been found in similar layers ? 
Where polished stone implements have been found in the same layer 
with diluvial remains, the layer has not been undisturbed. Fragments 
of pottery and other things were found of the Neolithic period or a 
still later period. In undisturbed diluvial layers, in our investigated 
districts, neither polished stone implements nor fragments of pottery 
have been found. 
IV. Is there any evidence in German caves or gravel beds to prove or 
disprove subdivisions of the oldest stone period (Paleolithic) into river 
drift, Mousterien, Solutrien and Magdalenien (of Mortillet) ? 
For this kind of discovery we are without the necessary ground. 
The richest discoveries made up to this time, at least in Germany, have 
been of the Reindeer period. 
V. From excavation of German caves do you think that where very 
prominent and conspicuous, they contain in layers one above another, 
traces of all savage people who have inhabited the region, i. e., that they
