In a short article, entitled "A Fossil j\Tan from Kansas," 
published in Science for August i (pages 195-196), Prof. S. 
W. Williston, of the Kansas State University, gave an account 
of his examination of a human skeleton and the localitv, near 
Lansing, Kan., where it was discovered, about six months ago, 
under 20 feet of the Missouri valley drift. Through the kind- 
ness of Hon. J. V. Brower, an earlier newispaj^er account of 
this discovery had brought information of it to Prof. N. H. 
Winchell of Minneapolis, and to myself, vvdiich had led us 
to plan a visit to the Lansing locality for the purpose of study- 
ing the drift there in its relation to the recognized time divisions 
of the Ice age. Our visit was made on Saturday, August 9. 
In response to correspondence, we had the great advantage 
to be accompanied by Prof. Williston and Prof. Erasmus 
Haworth, of the State University, Lawrence, Kan., and M. 
C. Long, P. A. Sutermeister, and Sidney J. Hare, of Kansas 
City. Mo. 
The skeleton was discovered February 20, 1902, in- exca- 
vating a tunnel for storing fruit, vegetables, milk, butter, etc., 
in (and near the middle of the south edge of) the N. W. 
}i of sec. 28, T. 9 S., R. 23 E., close southwest of the Missouri 
river and of the narrow bottomland that skirts it there on 
the southwest side ; being on the farm of Martin Concannon 
and only a few rods from his house, at the distance of about 
two and a half miles southeast from Lansing and about eighteen
