rial are found,&quot; but his photographs and figures showing the location 
of the bones and drawn and reproduced &quot; to scale &quot; do not bear 
out this statement. They show that the remains lay in an inclined 
plane a circumstance also of some importance and at the following

2 A foot scale accompanying the photograph fully confirms these measurements. 
3 Not indicated. 
The above measurements make also necessary a modification of 
Dr. Sellards s statement on page 142, that the radius &quot;lay at an 
actual level fully 2 feet lower than the ulna.&quot; The difference in 
level between the ulna and the lowest part of the radius, as shown 
by the photograph in his plate 17, is actually only 1 foot 5 inches. 
Another point in connection with Skeleton II which calls for 
explanation or rectification is that embodied in the first sentence 
of the second paragraph on page 142 of Dr. Sellards s report, 
which reads : &quot; By reference to the text figures and to the description 
of the fossils it will be seen that the bones of this skeleton lying 
at the contact line between strata 2 and 3 are found on either side 
and around the bones* found in place in the older stratum No. 2.&quot; 
Neither the text, nor figures 5 and 6, nor photograph 1 on plate 17, 
bear out this statement. 1 
Still another uncertainty concerns the association of animal bones 
with the bones of this human skeleton. On page 139 of his mono 
graph, Dr. Sellards enumerates a rather large number of bones 
of fossil vertebrates &quot; which have been found in stratum No. 2 in 
1 Since this was written the point was called to the attention of Dr. Sellards, from 
whom the writer has received the following answer : &quot; With regard to the place of the 
bones at the contact line between strata 2 and 3, the words on either side and around 
are best replaced by the word near. Some were found not so far in the bank, while 
others were farther in the bank than those in No. 2. All of the bones on the contact 
line, howe\ 7 er, were farther west than those in No. 2, hence the word around is not 
strictly applicable.&quot;
