the ‘old man of Cro-Magnon,’ which discloses a decided approach 
to the normal type of civilised man. Its cephalic index is 73 6 
and its capacity 1590 c.c. The height of this individual was T82 
metres (5 feet 11 J inches). The lower jaw has a large ascending 
ramus, behind which, on both sides, the third molar is partly 
hidden. These two teeth have also the peculiarity of being 
smaller than the other molars, being in this respect more allied to 
the dentition of Neolithic and modern races. For these reasons, 
as well as the fact that it was found on the surface of the Palseo- 
lithic debris, some anthropologists maintain that the ‘ old man of

Cro-Magnon’ belonged to the earty Neolithic period — a point 
elsewhere referred to in this address. 
Figs. 16 and 17 are reproductions of illustrations by Dr 
Yerneau of two skulls found in the Grotte des Enfants , near 
Mentone. That on the left belonged to a young man, and that on 
the right to an aged female. They are part of two skeletons 
which lay close together on a hearth-layer at a depth of 7*75 
metres. The cephalic index of the former is 6972 and of the 
latter 68 ’58. These skeletons were those of small individuals, 
their respective heights being 1*54 metres (5 feet 0J inch) and 
T58 metres (5 feet 2 inches). About 27 J inches higher up in the 
debris another skeleton, measuring no less than 192 metres in 
height (6 feet 3J inches), was found, which presented all the
