 human skeletons were found. But it is doubtful if these

 same remarks should be made also with reference to the 

 lake-dwellings in Switzerland, of which so much has been

 age than the river-drift man of whom we are speaking, 

 and of whom we have such abundant evidence both in 

 Europe and in America.
