ternary." Dr. Schaffhausen thinks it can be traced to an earlier 

 period still. In view of the discovery of the Spy man with its 

 better definition of the Cannstadt race, it is possible that the men 

 of La Denise, Eguisheim, and the lowest gravels of Grenelle will 

 have to be separated from this race. 



In the valley of the Vezere, in the southwest of France, in 

 that of the Somme in the northwest of France, at Grenelle near 

 Paris, in the Gourdon grotto in the middle of the central Pyre-

 much different from the Cannstadt man. 



To this man MM. Quatrefages and Hami have given the name

 valley of the Vezere, near the village of Les Eyzies, where in the 

 year 1858 the bones of three men, one woman, and a child were 

 found. 



This race is regarded as more recent than the Cannstadt race. 

 The evidence to sustain this view is quite convincing. 



In the Grenelle basin, near Paris, the Cannstadt man, the Cro- 

 Magnon man, and a skeleton approaching a type known as the 

 Purfooz man (to be described later) appear in chronological order.
