A human sacrum 



from Prov. Ho-nan (Matsumoto: On some fossil mammals from Ho nan, China. fc'ci. Rep. vol. 

 HI., No. I, 1915). Of the fossils from Sze-chuan, enumerated above, he distinguished two faunas, 

 one comprising those forms marked with an asterisk, and the other including all the remaining 

 ones. While the latter represents the Stegodon fauna of the Upper Pliocene age, the former are 

 believed by him to have been derived from a cave deposit of the Lower Pleistocene. Decidedly 

 younger than this is the Ho-nan fauna, which he assigned to the Upper Pleistocene, though there is 

 considerable doubt about the integrity of the fauna as regards the geological age. K. Hasebe has 

 already expressed a different view concerning the human sacrum (Hasebe: On Mr. Matsumoto's 

 " A fossil human cacrum from Ho-nan " (in Japanese). Jour. Anthropolog. Soc. Tokyo, vol. XXX., 

 No. 344, 1915).
