1; also Evans's "Ancient Stone Implements," p. 429. (3) Evans's "Ancient Stone Implements," b. 445. (4) Pronounced Bret'-cha, a rock composed of fragments of older rock, united by a cement. (5) Geikie's "Prehistoric Europe," p. 92. (6) Pengelly, quoted by Geikie, "Prehistoric Europe," p. 93. (7) Evans's "Ancient Stone Implements," p. 462. (8) Evans's "Ancient Stone Implements," p. 463. (9) Geikie's "Prehistoric Europe," p. 102. (10) Mr. Dawkins ("Early Man in Britain," p. 203) does not consider M. Dupont justified in dividing the remains found in the caverns of Belgium into two epochs. He considers them to be the remains of the same people, some tribes being, perhaps, farther advanced than others. Mr. Dawkins is, of course, high authority, but we think his argument could also be applied to prove there was no real difference between the men of the River Drift and the so-called Cave-men. This, in fact, is the opinion of many, including Mr. Evans, who is exceptionally well qualified to judge of these remains. We think, however, in view of the evidence adduced by Mr. Pengelly, Mr. Geikie, Mr. Dawkins, and others, few will venture to doubt that there is a wide difference between the men of the River Drift and those of the Caves. (11) "Prehistoric Times," p. 330. (12) "Early Man in Britain," p. 198. (13) French writers make four divisions of these caves, according to the degree of finish, which the specimens show. Mr. Dawkins does not think the difference in the implements sufficient to justify this view. With the possible exception of Le Moustier, as stated above, we think his view correct, which is also the opinion of Mr. Evans. ("Ancient Stone Implements," p. 439.) (14) Rau's "Early Man in Europe," p. 88. (15) Dawkins's "Early Man in Britain," p. 205. (16) Ibid., p. (17) It is, however, thought that the station was used as a camping-ground by very different people, at widely different times. (18) Lubbock's "Prehistoric Times," p. 434. (19) "Prehistoric Times," p. 335. (20) Morgan's "Ancient Society," p. 12. (21) Lubbock's "Prehistoric Times," p. 338. J. C. Southall, in his valuable work, "Recent Origin of Man," p. 195, _et seq.,_ argues that pottery was known at this time, and cites instances where i
