ANTHROPOLOGY AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION IN 1889. 649 



their own country, France, as it was possible to make. M. Cartailliac 

 classified it as follows : 



The first period of the paleolithic age, the alluvium ; the second 

 period of the paleolithic age, the caverus ; the neolithic period; the 

 age of metal, which he divided into Celtic aud G-auloise periods, which 

 brought it to the historic period, aud there his display ended. The 

 historical career of France was taken up in another section. 



The display of prehistoric archaeology was more extensive than one 

 would suppose from the meager description I have been able to give. 

 There were no less than eighty -five cases, tables, shelves, etc. All the 

 epochs mentioned in the description were here displayed. They were 

 divided among the paleolithic, neolithic, aud bronze ages, though these 

 were not in all cases kept separate, it being found impracticable to 

 make the classification aud, divide the collection of each contributor. 

 Making the rudest attempt at classification, I give the following :

Viscount de Lastic, Tarnet-Garonne.

M. Judge Piette, Mas d'Azil, Grotte Duruthy. 



Several of these collections of paleolithic implements were from the 

 surface, notably those of M. Cartailhac and Madame Capitau. More 

 than one-half of them contain objects engraved or sculptured. The 

 principal were those of Judge Piette, M. Massenat, Maurice Feaux, 

 Michel Hardy, M. Paiguon, M. Cau Durban, M. Paysant, and Viscount 

 de Lastic. 



I can do no better in giving a description of this section of prehistoric 

 archaeology than to take a portion of M. Cartailhac's carefully digested 

 aud closely written introduction. He says : 



The paleolithic period having endured for a long time, presents itself to us with 

 various and successive aspects. The objects of industry, the most ancient of all Eu-
