CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION. 
219 
(20.) French of the Middle Ages, 
Two groups are classed, under this head by Rahon. The first comes from the 
cemetery of Saint-Marcel, and is said to belong to the 4th to the 7th century. The 
second comes from the cemetery of Saint-(fermain-des-Pres, and probably belongs to 
the 10th to the 11th century. If these dates be correct, the former group belongs to 
the protohistoric rather than the medimval period, and is directly comparable with 
the above results for the Merovingian and Carolingian periods. The latter group 
belongs to the early middle ages. We have :

The first of these differs very considerably from my estimate, but Rahon has made
