RELICS OP MAN IN THE GLACIAL PERIOD. 279 



Other crania from various Quaternary deposits in Eu- 

 rope seem to warrant the inference that this type of man 

 was the prevalent one during the early part of the Palaeo- 

 lithic age. As long ago as 1700 a skull of this type was 

 exhumed in Canstadt, a village in the neighbourhood of 

 Stuttgart, in Wurtemberg. This was found in coexist- 

 ence with the extinct animals whose bones we have de- 

 scribed as so often appearing in the high-level river-gravel 

 of the Glacial age. But the importance of the discovery 

 at Canstadt was not appreciated until about the middle of 

 the present century. From the priority of the discovery, 

 and of the discussion among German anthropologists con- 

 cerning it, it has been thought proper, however, by some 

 to give the name of this village to the race and call it the 

 " Canstadt race." But, whatever name prevails, it is im- 

 portant in our reading to keep in mind that the man of 

 Canstadt, the man of Neanderthal, and the inan of Spy 

 are identical in type, and probably in age. Similar dis- 

 coveries have been made in various other places. Among 

 these are a lower jaw of the same type discovered in 

 1865 by M. Dupont, at Naulette, in the valley of the Lesse, 

 in Belgium, and associated with the remains of extinct 

 animals ; a jawbone found in a grotto at Arcy ; a frag- 

 ment of a skull found in 1865 by Faudel, in the loess of 

 Eguisheim, near Colmar ; a skull at Olmo, discovered in 

 1863, in a compact clayey deposit forty-five feet below 

 the surface ; and a skull discovered in 1884 at Marcilly. 



M. Dupont has brought to light much additional testi- 

 mony to glacial man from other caves in different parts of 

 Belgium. In all he has explored as many as sixty. Three 

 of these, in the valley of the Montaigle, situated about 

 one hundred feet above the river, contained both remains 

 of man and many bones of the mammoth and other 

 associated animals, which had evidently been brought in 

 for food. 



In the hilly parts of Germany, also, and in Hungary,
