550 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1913. 



three last named not yet erupted. The bone is very stout and shows 

 other primitive features, but the chin was already slightly developed. 

 The original of the Sipka jaw is still in the care of Prof. Maska at 

 Tele, Moravia, where it was seen by the Avriter.^ 



Among the specimens which while indubitably ancient have not 

 as yet been completely or finally described, should be mentioned, in 

 the first place the parts of the several skeletons discovered between 

 1909 and 1912 by Capitan and Peyrony, in the late Mousterian 

 archeological deposits of La Ferrassie, and the child's skull found by 

 the same explorers in 1909 in the cave of Pech de I'Aze, near Sarlat 

 (Dordogne), France. The writer has seen these specimens, which 

 are preserved and are being restored in the Museum d'Histoire Na- 

 turelle, Paris; they are in the care of Prof. Boule, who will eventu- 

 ally describe them. Certain observations on some parts of these 

 skeletons have already been included in Prof. Boule's reports on the 

 Chapelle-aux-Saints' skeleton. He holds that the remains belong to 

 the Homo Neanderthalensis." 



Among the ancient, but less definitely determined skeletal remains, 

 and among those belonging to the younger paleolithic (Late Quat- 

 ernary) period, there may be mentioned especially the Ochoz,^ 

 Brux (Most),* Brno (Briimi) No. 1,^ Canstadt,* Combe-Capelle,^ 

 Eguisheim,^ Galley Hill,^ and possibly the Ipswich,^ skulls and 

 skeletons. For the often not fully satisfactory details concerning 

 these specimens the reader must be referred to the original publi- 

 cations. 



Of especial importance, however, is the magnificent collection of 

 ancient skeletal remains discovered at Pfedmost, Moravia, by Prof. 

 K. J. Maska. This splendid material, which consists of 14 human
