REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE ON WHICH THE HUMAN 
REMAINS FOUND AT VERO, FLORIDA, ARE RE¬ 
FERRED TO THE PLEISTOCENE. 
E. H. SELLARDS. 
A11 account of the discovery of human and other fossils found 
at Vero was given in the preceding annual report of this Survey. 
Since that time important additional investigations have been made 
at the locality. In the latter part of October, 1916, a conference 
was held at Vero, at which time the following geologists and anthro¬ 
pologists were present: Dr. O. P. Hay, Research Associate of the 
Carnegie Institution, Washington; Dr. G. G. MacCurdy, Anthro¬ 
pologist, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut; Dr. A. Hrd- 
licka. Anthropologist, U. S. National Museum, Washington; Dr. T. 
W. Vaughan, Geologist, U. S. Geological Survey, Washington; Dr. 
R. T. Chamberlin, Geologist, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illi¬ 
nois. In March, 1917, Professor E. W. Berry, of Johns Hopkins 
University, Baltimore, Maryland, visited the locality. At this time 
also Dr. Chamberlin returned to Florida to supplement his former 
observations. Supplementary collections were made by the State 
Survey at this locality in October, November and December, 1916, 
and in March, 1917. 
As a result of these investigations, together with the studies of 
others who have kindly identified fossils, the locality at Vero has 
received detailed study and very full discussion. The. papers which 
have been published, in addition to those of the present volume, 
relating to these deposits include the, following, listed in the order 
in which they were issued:
