146 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS. 
The writer feels indebted to an interesting article in an 
Australian exchange, “The Science of Man,” for the forego- 
ing account, which conforms the claim of man’s existence in 
Central France in Tertiary times. 
At a meeting of the American Association for the Ad- 
vancement of Science, held at Washington in 1891, Prof. E.. D-. 
Cope produced a crushed skull of the extinct American horse 
in Tertiary apparently undisturbed deposits. In the same 
bed, close beside it, lay the stone hammer, evidently fashioned 
by human hand, used for breaking the frontal bone of the ani- 
mal. If the professor, famous for his knowledge of extinct 
animals, was not mistaken in this instance, he adds a further 
proof of man’s existence in Tertiary times on this continent 
also.
