ar. e., articular eminence (for lower jaw) ; c. c, carotid canal; e. a. m., opening leading to middle ear; 

 g. s., glenoid socket (for lower jaw); pet., bone surrounding internal ear; st., pit for styloid process; 

 t. p., tympanic plate; z, root of zygomatic arch 



remains. The canine, which was dis- 

 covered by Father Teilhard in the place 

 where the other remains came from, was 

 identified by Dr. Smith Woodward as 

 belonging in the right side of the lower 

 jaw; but as shown in figure 6, by com- 

 parison with the upper and lower canines 

 of a female orang, its resemblances are 

 on the whole closer to the left upper 

 canine, as observed by Mr. A. E. 



Fig. 8. Internal cast of the Piltdown skull. The fully shaded 

 parts are represented in the original, the rest is restored. After 

 EUiot Smith. The branching system represents the grooves for the 

 meningeal arteries which are on the inner surface of the brain-case

Anderson. If it be an upper canine its 

 wearing surface is such that the first 

 lower bicuspid which occluded with it 

 must have been elongate and prominent 

 and much more anthropoid than human 

 in shape. Taken in connection with 

 the total lack of a chin, and with the 

 straightness of the molar tooth rows, this 

 indicates that the lower part of the 

 face and the dentition were even 

 more apelike than in Dr. Smith Wood- 

 construction. If the canine 

 ;in upper one, this would tend 

 confirm the association of 

 the jaw with the skull, in 

 the opinion of American 

 Museum collectors. 



While perhaps not con- 

 clusive the foregoing con- 

 siderations tend strongly 

 to show that all the Pri- 

 mate remains so far dis- 

 covered at Piltdown be- 

 longed to one individual, 

 which is represented by 

 the greater portion of the 

 brain-case, by the nasal 

 bones, by the left upper
