Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paleolithic Man in Eastern and Central North America, Vol. 3 Bearing upon this question, it must be remembered that we have one palaeolithic implement found, four feet from the surface, in the older gravel upon which the Trenton rests, at Trenton, New Jersey. This specimen was sent to the Peabody Museum by Dr. Abbott's son Richard, and I have brought it here for your examination. The results of Dr. Abbott's investigation of the river-bed in the vicinity of Morris Island, below Trenton, which he has given us to night, are of special interest, as they Show that the stone imple ments, once buried by the Trenton gravel, have since been washed out of the gravel by the action of the river, and are now found upon its bed associated with other water-worn stones. Two of these water-worn implements are before you for examination and com parison with others taken from the gravel. Mr. Cresson's discovery of a chipped- int implement of large size (fig. In place in the gravel of White river, Indiana, is another important fact in relation to the distribution of early man in America. Professor Wright has shown to us this evening, by a series of instructive lantern pictures, the continuity of this gravel deposit in Indiana with that of New Jersey, from which about four hundred implements have been taken by Dr. Abbott, and that of Ohio, from which we have two implements found by Dr. Metz.
