[Dec. 19, 
the .gravel, for the delay I made in extricating it with my pocket 
knife nearly caused me the unpleasant position of being covered by 
several tons of gravel, to say nothing of the tongue lashing that I 
received from my friend, the section boss of the laborer’s gang. It 
is to be regretted that the camera was not at hand to photograph 
the implement in situ , but this was impossible. 
Having duly reported my find to Professor Putnam, I began, at 
his request, a thorough examination of the locality and on May 
25, 1888, the year following, discovered another implement, 1 four 
feet below the surface, at a place about one- eighth of a mile from 
the first discovery. This was on Darley’s road, the byway I have 
already mentioned. The road crosses the Baltimore and Ohio rail- 
road track, a few degrees west of nprth, and leads toward what is 
known as “the red cut” from the fact that Darley’s road at this point 
was excavated through a red gravel deposit which gave origin to 
its name. The point where the palseolith was found is a short dis- 
tapce above Joel Cloud’s spring-house. The geological formation in 
which the implement was found seems to be a reddish gravel mixed 
with schist. Professor Wright who visited the spot with me has 
reserved his opinion upon the spot (with all due precaution), for 
the formation in this locality is a most difficult one to determine. 
REMARKS UPON A CHIPPED IMPLEMENT, FOUND IN 
MODIFIED DRIFT, ON THE EAST FORK OF THE 
WHITE RIVER, JACKSON CO., INDIANA. 
BY HILBORNE T. CRESSOX. 
The profile sketch 1 , fig. 1, shows the position of gravel in which 
the large palseolith was found, on the east bank of White River, 
near the village of Medora, Jackson Co., Indiana. 
The implement is thus shown to have been found in undisturbed 
gravel six inches distant from the boulder H , at P, the position indi- 
cated in the diagram. Its discovery was wholly a matter of ac- 
iFor figures of these implements see pages 160, 161, following. 
2 Especial attention is called to the fact that the p.lan on page 151 was made after a 
very hasty examination of the locality. It cannot, therefore, be depended upon as an 
exact section of the supposed aqueous deposits referred to.
