NEANDERTHAL MAN 
of hands and feet, with some pieces of which it was 
impossible to say to which skeleton they belonged. 
Repeated critical examination of the specimens left a 
serious doubt in Doctor Hrdlicka’s mind as to the ac- 
curacy of the above distribution. No photographs or 
sketches were made on the spot; the bones were not 
marked and have evidently become mixed up, their dis- 
tribution being decided upon later. The specimens indi- 
cate very strongly different relations. The right femur, 
the tibia, and the two stronger ulnae do not harmonize 
with the relatively weak arm bones and clavicle of No. 1. 
They harmonize perfectly, on the other hand, with the 
bones of the male skeleton No. 2 and must, Hrdlicka feels, 
be attributed to this skeleton. The true identification 
of the parts appears to him as follows:
