NEANDERTHAL MAN 
a higher vault, a better developed mastoid, a less heavy 
zygoma, and a parietal with a central rather than posterior 
though still low-placed eminence. 
Doctor Hrdli¢ka’s examination of the Ehringsdorf 
originals, coupled with the study of the most recent skull 
and implements of which there are able descriptions, led 
him to the following views: 
The originals in Weimar and the many fine illustrations 
of the artifacts in Schuster’s report (1928) show plainly, 
especially in the knives and scrapers, Mousterian affini- 
ties. But the long and the fine points, including the re- 
markable double-point, the drills, and other objects, sug- 
gest further developments. There is certainiy nothing 
very primitive about the culture, though a few of the 
worked stones are rather crude or simple. 
Similarly with the human skeletal remains—they are 
certainly not more primitive than those of the Neander- 
thalers. They are on the whole less primitive, in fact, 
than the Neanderthal remains proper, or those from 
La Chapelle or Le Moustier, or the adult from Gibraltar. 
The quarry work at Ehringsdorf proceeds, and with the 
intelligent interest of the owners, the overseers, and even 
the workmen, in the finds, and with the aid of Herr Lindig, 
it seems reasonable to hope that new discoveries will 
throw additional light on the highly interesting problems 
of the ancient Ilmstal population. 
Tue Fosstt Man or La CHAPELLE-AUX-SAINTS 
One of the most interesting, best authenticated, and, 
thanks to Marcellin Boule, now best-known skeletons 
of early man, is that of “the fossil man of La Chapelle- 
aux-Saints.” 
La Chapelle-aux-Saints is a small village in the De- 
partment of Corréze, near the railroad station of Vayrac, 
south of the town of Brive, in southern France. Some 
200 yards from the village and beyond the left bank of 
the small stream, the Sourdoire, in the side of a moderate
