FOSSIL REMAINS OF MAN. 
Under the above heading the authorities at the British 
Museum (natural history), have issued a remarkably cheap 
guide, which contains 33 pages, four plates and twelve text 
figures. It is sold at the low price of 4d. Written by Dr. A.

reliable. The illustrations of the various important remains 
of early man are remarkably clear, and special prominence 
is given to the Piltdown specimens, which are now in the 
national collection. We are permitted to reproduce one of 
the illustrations herewith, which shows left side view of the 
Piltdown skull (a); the Neanderthal (Mousterian) skull from 
La-Chapelle-aux-Saints (b); and a modern human skull (c), 
the second after M. Boule ; one quarter natural size. The lower 
jaw of the La-Chapelle skull is altered by the loss of the teeth 
and disease.
