been discovered beneath the ruins of
cliff dwellers' houses in southeastern
Utah. Among the collection is a male
OF giant stature, two females and two
boys. They are not bodies of the cliff
jewellers, but some race who lived be-
fore them, as they were found beneath
the ruins of the cliff dwellers' habita-
tions and their hair is reddish instead
of black, as with the cliff jewellers The
bodies were covered with very curious
mating or blanket of wool and feath-

a violent death. The mustache is still
on the face of the giant and the course
of vein may be traced in the arm of
the woman.
