HUMAN REMAINS AND ASSOCIATED FOSSILS. 141 later stream deposits, stratum No. 3 of the section, cuts sharply into the older formation, and for a short space cuts entirely through stratum No. 2 and into the shell marl Fig. 14. Detail of the section of the south bank from about 470 to 478 feet west of the bridge. Horizontal and vertical scale, i inch equals about 2 feet. Human bones are found at or near the contact line between strata 2 and 3. The strata Xos. 2 and 3 correspond to strata 2 and 3 of the general sec- tion. No. 3 is an alluvial deposit made up of alternating layers of sand and muck which were undisturbed. For a photograph of this exposure see fig. I, PI. 17. The bones from this skeleton were taken from the bank by Ayers, Weills and the writer. In addition to the ulna and humerus, there were obtained from cavings from the bank a part of a sphenoid bone, scapula, and a left upper incisor; and in place in the bank the left ulna, a femur, radius, base of a jaw, parts of the skull and two metatarsals. The first bone found in place was the left ulna, of which the proximal part only was present, although the distal part lacking the extremities was later obtained a few inches farther back in the bank. The bone next found, the left femur, of which only a part of the shaft is preserved, was lying near the ulna and at about the same level. Another piece from the shaft of this bone was obtained the following June, having been found several feet farther back in the bank. The radius, of which the proximal part only was obtained, was found five feet north of east of the ulna, and at the same place in the section, that is at the bottom of the bed of sand and alluvial material.
