had already been found in the Baousse-Rou.sse by MM. Emile Riviere, 

 Verneau, and others. At the depth of 7 meters and below, however, 

 M. de Villeneuve made some curious discoveries whose true value has 

 been brought out by the discernino- mind of Dr. Verneau. At that 

 level there is a stratum in which are found the remains of the cave 

 hyena and Mousterian implements." Nothing- is disturbed, and we 

 are therefore certain that we are well within the paleolithic age. 

 Here the Al^bo de Villeneuve has wholly uncovered what he calls a 

 double sepulture. As shown in the accompany ing plate, there are 

 two skeletons — one that of an old woman, the other that of a young 

 man — placed side by side, in a perfect state of preservation, the limbs

 Formerly there was nmch discussion as to whether })ale()lithic men 

 honored and buried their dead. MM. Cartailhac and P^mile Riviere 

 maintained that they did so. The (explorations instituted by tlu> Prince 

 of Monaco contirm their assertion and i)ut the matter l)cyond doubt.

 results: 



In the upper half they show (|uite supci-ior characters; they are 

 well developed, with tine foreheads. On examining the lower half, 

 however, a prognathism is found, more marked than has hitherto
