observed in the Pfedmost jaw No. 3, while in jaw No. 9 from the 

 same locaHty the progression on the right is Mi, M2, M3 (the M3 

 being the largest), while on the left it is M2, Mi, M3. We see thus 

 that in early man, the ancient condition of the molars progressing in 

 size from before backwards is still more or less in evidence in the 

 older forms, disappearing more and more as recent times are 

 approached.

Concluding Remarks 



This work has been limited to the more ancient skeletal remains 

 of man, or to those up to the end of the Mousterian cultural period, 

 which ended during the last ice invasion. A good number of defective 

 specimens, of isolated teeth and bones, and of remains imperfectly 

 known, such as Podkoumok skull or the Crimea neaiiderthaloid 

 bones, have been omitted ; they would add but little to the presentation. 

 There are in addition, however, many valuable remains of similar 

 nature from later paleolithic times, the Aurignacian, Solutrean, and 

 Magdalenian ; these, though nearly all known to the writer personally, 

 and though presenting many jx^ints of much interest, must be left 

 for a future revision. They will call for a large volume by themselves, 

 and that a critical volume, for the reports that have accumulated 

 on these remains lack much in uniformity and are much marred by 

 speculation and by errors due to the earlier lack of comparable ma- 

 terial. It may safely be foretold that the notions as to Homo sapiens, 

 the idolatry of the Cro-Magnons, the ideas of direct Eskimo connec- 

 tions, the conclusions about negroids in Euroi>e, and other vested 

 opinions will suffer much elucidation. 



The most notable individual skeletal remains of the post-Mousterian 

 paleolithic times are those of Pi^edmost, upper Aurignacian, compris- 

 ing 14 skeletons some of which are almost complete, with parts of 6 

 others, found by K. Maska and preserved in Zemske Museum, Brno, 

 Moravia; the apparently Aurignacian skeletons of the French and 

 Italian Riviera (Mentone, Grimaldi) ; and the. Aurignacian to Mag- 

 dalenian skulls and skeletons of Most (Brux), Brno (Brunn), 

 Canstadt, Chancelade, Combe-Capelle, Cro-Magnon, Eguisheim, Lauc, 

 Laugerie Haute and L. Basse, Obercassel. Paviland, Solutree,
