(MacPhee, R.D.E. and J.B. Fleagle (1991).
Postcranial remains of Xenothrix mcgregori (Primates, Xenotrichidae) and
other Later Quaternary mammals from Long Mile Cave (Bulletin
American Museum of Natural History 206:287-321.) were found in
Jamaica, by Harold E. Anthony' (mammologist at American Museum of
Natural History, NY). He visited Windsor in 1920 and stayed at the
Great House.In addition to the primate bones he also found Amerindian bones and pottery shards.
The site was further excavated in 1993 and a new species of rodent was discovered by McPhee, McFarlane and Alan Fincham. The latter was responsible for writing the very excellent book, Jamaica Underground, 1997, The Press, University of the West Indies, from which the drawing is copied ( BUY a Copy).
