THE HAIRY MAMMOTH. 31 
in caves and rock-shelters and rude huts, at a period long 
before the first dawnings of history. 
So far from being lower than Australians and Hottentots, 
they may have been the ancestors of the Calmucs and Fins 
and Lapps. Living near glaciers which descended into the 
plains of France down the slopes of the Alps and Pyrenees, 
which brought Alpine and ice-inhabiting animals close to 
their hunting grounds, they yet chased the boar through 
the forests, the elk through the morasses and grassy inter- 
vals, and pursued the iio the roe, the chamois, ibex, 
Pyrenæan deer, and, most abundant of all, the reindeer, over 
the snow-fields lying ọn the hills and uplands; and in the 
lower plains and valleys watched by night, made hideous by 
the cries of the cave-hyena, for the Mammoth and mastodon, 
the cave-bear, the lion, tiger, and tichorhine rhinoceros, as 
they came from their retreats to slake their thirst at the 
river bank. 
Professor Carl Vogt, in “The Primitive Period of the 
Human Species,” translated for the Anthropological Review, 
has given the most recent and more moderate views regard- 
ing the Stone Folk. With Lartet and Christy he divides 
the Stone Age into two periods: first, the “ Cave-bear epoch, 
distinguished by large, now extinct, species of beasts of 
prey and pachydermata, rude flint implements, coarsely 
worked bones, and long cranial forms of a strong race of 
men;* and second, the Reindeer period, characterized by the
