DISCOVERIES ATTRIBUTED TO EARLY MAN 31 
and Didelphis virginiana, part of the lower jaw. Upon sifting the sand the 
following additional species were obtained : Sylvilagus sp., teeth and part 
of lower jaw; Dasypus sp. ?, dermal plate; Sigmodon sp., teeth; Neofiber 
aJleni, teeth ; Chlamytherinm septentrionalis, dermal plates ; Blarina sp. ; Cryp- 
totis floridana; bird, humerus and part of radius; Alligator mississippiensis?, 
teeth, dermal plates ; batrachian, leg bone ; snake, jaw and fangs ; as well as 
acorns and fragments of wood. Of these fossils the scapula of the deer was 
found within a few inches of the human astragalus and at the same level, while 
the other specimens were found nearby, none of them being more than 5 feet 
from the human bones. 
Additional human bones: In April, 1916 
[P. 142] w T hile excavating in the north bank of the canal, 419 feet west of 
the bridge, Mr. Weills obtained at the contact line between strata Nos. 3 and 2 
a single human toe bone. From the same bank, 450 feet west of the bridge and 
at approximately the same place in the section, Mr. Weills obtained in June, 
1916, an unworn human molar tooth. Since the canal at this place is fully 100 
feet W 7 ide from bank to bank, it is doubtful if these specimens, although at the 
same place in the section, belong to the skeleton found directly opposite in the 
south bank. 
Artifacts: In April, 1916, while excavating in layer NQ. 2 on the 
north bank, 370 feet west of the railroad bridge, Mr. Weills obtained 
in &quot; immediate association &quot; with various bones of fossil animals 
[P. 134] a fragment of bird bone and a tip of a proboscidian tusk, which have 
markings which apparently were made by tools. These two specimens were 
both found in place near the base of stratum No. 2, on the north bank, 370 feet 
west of the bridge. 
[Pp. 136-139.] In stratum No. 2, at the locality on the south bank, 460 feet 
west of the bridge, Frank Ayers found in place a thin sharp-edged flint which 
undoubtedly is a spawl from the manufacture of some kind of a flint imple 
ment. The place of this flint in the bed is about a foot farther in the bank than 
the human bones and 3 or 4 feet farther east. . . . Upon sifting the sand 
from this stratum at this locality five additional small flints were obtained. 
They may be spawls, although it seems more probable that some of them at 
least are small implements. 
[P. 140.] With the small flints obtained from sifting the sands [of stratum No. 
2] in which the human bones were imbedded*was found a piece of a bone imple 
ment. Subsequently, while sifting the sand from this stratum about 10 feet 
farther to the west (475 feet west of the bridge), a second small implement 
and also a small flint was found. The bone implements are polished and nicely 
finished. The second implement found, which is practically complete, is sharp 
pointed at one end and beveled at the other, probably for insertion into a shaft. 
While neither of these implements were found in place, the sand was carefully 
handled, and there was little or no chance of their coming from any stratum 
other than No. 2 of the section. 
All the human bones recovered are mineralized. Comparison with 
a fossil animal bone from the same locality and a human bone from a 
sand mound near Vero gave Dr. Sellards the following results :
