ing the main (2nd) Interglacial. It is most desirable that there be 

 reached, as soon as practicable, a consensus of scientific opinion on 

 these questions. 



The quarry work at Ehringsdorf proceeds, and with the intelligent 

 interest in the finds of the owners, the overseers, and even the work- 

 men, and the nearness of Herr Lindig, it seems justifiable to hope 

 that new discoveries will be made which will throw additional light 

 on the highly interesting problems of the ancient Ilmstal population.

THE TAUBACH FINDS 



Among the isolated specimens proceeding from early man are the 

 two teeth of Taubach. One of these, a molar of the first dentition, 

 was found in the Quaternary deposits at Taubach near Weimar, 

 Germany, in 1892, by A. Weiss. The crown of this tooth shows 

 considerable wear, and this fact, with various characteristics of the 

 specimen, created at first an impression that the tooth was perhaps 

 not human ; later, however, the tooth was accepted as proceeding from 

 a human child. Meanwhile one of the laborers at Taubach discovered 

 in supposedly equally old deposits a first permanent left lower molar 

 about the human nature of which there can be no question, and this 

 tooth also shows various primitive features. Both these finds have
