Rh explored by Dr Karl Gorjanovic-Kramberger, who has published the result in a series of four articles in the Proceedings of the Anthropological Society of Vienna (Mitt., etc., vols. xxxi., xxxii., xxxiv., xxxv., 1901-5). On the alluvial beds were found various hearths, ashes, charcoal, bones of men and animals broken and sometimes burnt, together with implements of stone and bone. A few specimens of the industrial remains are here given (Fig. 58, Nos. 3-7) from which it will be seen that they are similar to those of the Moustérien epoch. Of worked objects of stone some one thousand pieces were collected, mostly of flint, but of which only about one hundred and fifty assumed the forms of

Among them there was none approaching in form to that of the coup-de-poing. Two objects made of reindeer-horn (Nos. 3 and 4) are figured to show that this material had been utilised for industrial purposes.

The fauna includes remains of Rhinoceros merckii, and for that reason some anthropologists classify the station as belonging to the Chelléen epoch. But it has elsewhere been shown that this species of rhinoceros lived later than E. antiquus and hippopotamus. The Ursus spelæus was abundantly represented, especially in the upper deposits. The human remains consisted of fragments of ten or twelve skulls, more than a hundred of the other bones, and one hundred and forty-four isolated teeth representing persons of all ages. All the frag-
