32 VIOLA T. DOBOSI - ISTVÁN VÖRÖS The stratigraphie distribution of animal remains In the yellowish brown washed clay 4/3 layer (= Sashegyi's layer II) in the frontal section of the cave excavation only tne cave bear remains were found. In the back section this layer contained only a very few bones. In the dark(red)brown clay layer 4. (= Sashegyi's layer III) there were macromammal remains and the so-called "bone implements". In layer 4. the animal remains are rolled and they are in a secondary position. Near the "hearth" excavated in the back section of the cave in the block No. 84 of section No. 21 (layer Ilia) many cave bear, hyena and rhinoceros remains were found. In the level with hearth remains in block No. 88 of section No. 24 below a rock two cave bear skulls crushed and come to splinters, one or two vertebrae and 27 canines were found. At the same level, in block No. 86. of section No. 24 there was the remain of a "rhinoceros foot". Since durint the excavations postcranial remains of Coelodonta had not come to light at all, it is highly probable that a small hoof of Asinus hydruntinus (os ph. III., Fig. 4.1.) was thought to be a rhinoceros "foot". As for the cave bear remains S. Sashegyi mentions that "three fragmentary skulls", "120 fangs and a few bone remains" had come to light from layer 4. In the upper level of the greyish brown clay layer (layer 6) known only from a borehole, only a few animal bones are known. 4 4 4. Kiskevély cave Excavated by L.

In his paper published in 1958 L. Vértes does not mention those finds which were found in the "upper yellow" (= 3) layer 4' (Fig. 7.). 4 4 Sashegyi 1948c. Still at the end of 1948 Gaál I. ordered to transport the animal bone remains from the Pomáz Local History Museum to the Hungarian Geological Institute to determine them. From here they had got into the Paleontological Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum at the beginning of 1956 where they are inventorized under Nos. G. 56.44.-111. They were re-inventorized during the revision after the 1956 destruction of the collection. Inv. No. V.60.934.-1002. 4 5 Vertes 1958, 127-131.
