The condition of the skullcap shows that the surface of the bone 

 was eaten away by acid after deiDOsition (Dubois). 



The condition of the skullcap shows that the surface of the bone 

 could not have been eaten away by acid, but that it must have been 

 worn down by violent stream action along with waterworn pebbles 

 before deposition (Houze). 



[If the skullcap had been subjected to stream action, it probably 

 had a different history from the femur, whose delicate, abnormal, 

 bony outgrowths show no evidence of rough treatment.]

The character^ of the skullcap are predominantly human (Cun- 

 ningham, Martin, Matschie, Houze, Turner). 



The characters of the skullcap are those of a microcephalous idiot 

 (Lydekker). 



The characters of the skullcap are those of a Neanderthal man 

 (Topinard). 



The characters of the skullcap are intermediate between those of 

 Neanderthal man and the higher apes (Schwalbe). 



The characters of the skullcap are intermediate between those 

 of modern man and the higher apes (Nehring). 



The characters of the slmllcap are simian but with some features 

 that resemble man (Obermaier). 



The characters of the skullcap are those of a gibbon (Kraiise, 

 Manouvrier) . 



The characters of the skullcap are not those of a gibbon 

 (Schwalbe, Weinert). 



The characters of the skullcap are predominantly chimpanzeelike 

 (Eimer, in Branco, Ramstrom, Virchow). 



The characters of the skullcap are not predominantly chimpanzee-

The size of the brain alone is not sufficient to show that the animal 

 approached man in structure (Ramstrom). 



(9) 



The creature was an imbecile (Manouvrier). 



The creature was a microcephalous idiot (Lydekker). 



The brain structure indicated by the cast of the inner surface of the
