SOCIETY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN. 35 



ORDINAEY MEETING. 

 25TH APRIL, 1912. 



Dr. JAMES DAVIDSON, Honorary Vice-President, 

 in the Chair. 



The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. 



A paper on " Glimpses of Prehistoric Man " was read by Mr. R. D. 

 Lawrence. Working backwards from modern man, he outlined all the salient 

 features of the peoples whose remains had been unearthed, and whose exist- 

 ences were as so many landmarks in the evolution of man. He dealt fully 

 with the characteristic types, Galley Hill skull, Gibraltar skull, &c., and when 

 possible gave an imaginary description of the individual. 



On the motion of the chairman a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to 

 Mr. Lawrence for his paper, and also to Professor Reid for his kindness in 

 supplying a large number of casts illustrating the various types.
