PRE-HISTORIC MAN. 
northern climates ; the third to southern ; the fourth those common 
to northern and southern ; and fifth, those still inhabiting the tem- 
perate zones of Europe. Of the first group seven have been found in 
Yorkshire ; of the second two ; of the third two ; and of the fifth 
eleven. 
At a meeting at Bradford, in March, 1867, the Rev. William 
Greenwell, Canon of Durham, read a paper on the inhabitants of 
Yorkshire in pre-Roman times. Of the men who lived when the 
mammoth, the tichorine rhinoceros, and several extinct mammals 
existed in Yorkshire, there appeared to be no evidence, and Mr. 
Greenwell regretted that the celebrated Kirkdale Cave was examined 
in days when it was never dreamt that man and the mammoth had 
lived together, and when flints had not become important as evi- 
dences of man. It is possible that amongst the large number of 
animal remains found in the cave some evidence of man might have 
been obtained. In many parts of England, including Yorkshire, there 
is abundant evidence of the existence of a people who used only 
stone implements before the advent of those acquainted with bronze. 
The former appeared to have possessed distinct physical features as 
compared with the latter. The sepulchral mounds in which 'their 
remains have been found are long in proportion to their breadth, and 
the interments were ahvays at the east end. "The skulls of the 
buried people, like the mounds, are long in proportion to their breadth, 
and also difi'erent in many other particulars from the heads of the 
bronze-using people wdio lie buried in round barrows. With these 
earlier interments no object of metal has ever been found, the only 
implements or weapons being made of flint or bone. The discovery 
of secondary burials of the people of the age of bronze, evidently 
introduced into these mounds at a time subsequent to their first 
erection, proves that they belong to an earlier time than 
those of the round-headed bronze-using people, and as in no 
case, and a very large number liave been examined, has any 
article of metal been found in them, it is not an unfair inference 
to assume that at the time they were raised meta] was unknown 
to the people who erected them." Other features of a very peculiar 
kind have been observed in the burials of the long barrows, both in
