sisting principally Of fihe sand, aud and

antiquity, however, since Mr.. Walter Hough,

bones from fye feet below Its top, which
vera identified by Prof. o. i. Marsh as the
remains OF species OF peceary, an animal
that has not inhabited theIegion In question
within the American historic epoch.
All Of the other terraces have thick de-
posts OF transported material wherever the
original contour Of the surface has favored
its preservation from erosion. From the toy
of the fourth terrace Mr. keck dug well
through 10 feet Of clay, gravel and houlderI
