A NEW PUBLICATION CONCERNING THE VERO REMAINS. 
Just as the last revision of the foregoing report has been com 
pleted, still another publication concerning the Vero remains and 
the deposits reaches the author. It bears the general title of &quot; Addi 
tional Studies in the Pleistocene at Vero, Florida,&quot; 1 and includes 
five papers, as follows : 
The Fossil Plants from Vero, Florida, by Edward W. Berry. 2 
Fossil Birds Found at Vero, Florida, with Descriptions of New Species, by II. W. 
Shufeldt. 
Vertebrata Mostly from Stratum No. *3 at Vero, Florida ; Together with De 
scriptions of New Species, by Oliver P. Hay. 3 
Review of the Evidence on which the Human Remains Found at Vero are 
Referred to the Pleistocene, by E. H. Sellards. 
Supplement to Studies in the Pleistocene at Vero, Florida, by E. H. Sellards.* 
The reports by Messrs. Berry, Shufeldt, and Hay deal with the 
antiquity of the various organic remains from the Vero deposits, and 
can have no special interest for the student of the antiquity of the 
human remains found in the same deposits so long as the contempo 
raneity of the human and other remains is not definitely established 
so as to be acceptable to anthropology. As to Dr. Sellards s report, 
it is partly a reprint of that in the American Anthropologist (April- 
June, 1917) and for the rest is paleontological. It brings, however, 
several rather valuable photographs relating to some of the human 
finds which show well the nature of some of the deposits and what 
has been described as stratification. Dr. Sellards s conclusions, as 
previously, are that 
&quot; The human remains and artifacts are contemporaneous with ex 
tinct species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and at least one extinct 
species of plant, as well as with other animal and plant species that 
do not at the present time extend their range into Florida. The age 
of the deposits containing these fossils, according to the accepted in 
terpretation of faunas and floras, is Pleistocene.&quot; 
As the interest in the Vero deposits continues there is a strong hope 
that a human burial in much better condition than those thus far 
found may be discoA-ered. Meanwhile the amount of painstaking 
work carried out on the organic non-human remains from the locality 
must surely be most welcome to all paleontologists.
