Accepts the association of the skull with jaw: " Ce qui pourrait le 



rendre vraisemblable c'est que, chez les jeunes Anthropo'ides nous voyons 



precisement associee a une boite cranienne sensiblement spherique une 



machoire a menton fuyant," p. 304. Regards the formation of a new 



genus as not justified: "En raison de sa capacite cranienne toute 



humaine il me semble cependant contre-indique de le separer du genre 



Homo. Le nom specifique d'Homo dawsoni me semble devoir etre 



prefere a celui d' Eoanthropus dawsoni . . . ." (p. 305).

 known to the author from descriptions only. (See next title.)

Eoanthropus, pp. 39-67. Accepts association of skull with jaw, 

 though recognizing that jaw is exactly that of a chimpanzee, and that 

 it would have been described as Troglodytes dawsoni if found alone 

 (p. 60). Admits that the presence of a pliocene anthropoid ape in 

 western Europe would be nothing extraordinary (p. 62). Regards the 

 creation of a new genus as unnecessary. Criticizes Waterston's view 

 that jaw did not belong with skull: " Cet argument, d'ordre purement 

 anatomique, n'est done pas sans valeur. Mais il a le tort d'etre impregne 

 d'un vieux parfum cuvierin et de reposer trop exclusivement sur les 

 donnees morphologiques tirees de l'Homme actuel. Or, les paleon- 

 tologistes savent combien la nature est fertile en combinaisons impre- 

 vues ; elle a pu associer d'autant plus facilement un condyle et une 

 fosse glenoide d'Homme a une machoire de Singe que, mecaniquement 

 et physiologiquement, cette association ne parait pas absurde. II semble 

 que, dans 1'evolution d'une tete osseuse, quand la face diminue, la man- 

 dibule diminue plus lentement, ne suivant en quelque sorte que de loin le 

 mouvement de retrait " (p. 62) .
