Cope on Palaeolithic Man. — In an article on the genealogy 
of man in the April number of the American Naturalist Prof. 
Cope concludes thus: "The flints which were discovered in 
the stratum of cave-deposit containing the human remains (at 
Spy, in Belgium) are of the palaeolithic type known asMous- 
terien in France, which are of later origin that the Chelleen 
or older palaeolithic. It is interesting to observe that these 
flints are of the same form as the obsidian implements which 
I collected at Fossil lake in Oregon, with the bones of extinct 
llamas, horses, elephants, sloths, etc. The animals which ac- 
companied the man of Spy are: 
Coelodonta antiquitatis, Woolly Rhinoceros, 
Equus caballus, Horse, 
Cervus elaphus, Red Deer, 
Cervus tarandus, Reindeer, 
Elephas primigenius Mammoth, 
Ursus speheus, Cave-Bear, 
Meles taxus, Badger, 
Hyiena spelaa, Cave Hyajna.
