specimen, or rather at an exact cast of the specimen, for 
it is on that I have had to base my examination. The 
mandible was originally covered by the black specks of 
the stratum in which it lay. Mr Busk found he could 
brush these specks off; that does not invalidate its 
authenticity. The shape of the mandible is remarkable. 
In fig. 67, I reproduce the appearance of the jaw as seen 
from the side, in true profile. Beside the Moulin 
Quignon specimen, 1 have placed a similar outline of

the mandible of the Galley Hill man. It is then seen 
that the ascending branch of the Moulin Quignon jaw, 
bearing the articular condyle and coronoid process, is 
altogether of remarkable width — 50 mm. at its widest 
part. The body of the jaw is not deep as measured from 
its upper or tooth-bearing border to its lower. Indeed, 
it is shallow, but its thickness, measured from the inner 
to the outer surface in the region of the molar teeth, 
is of more than average amount. In the region of the 
chin and symphysis, all the markings and features found 
in the chin region of modern man are present. When 
a comparison is made with the Galley Hill mandible 
(fig. 67), the Moulin Quignon specimen is, on the whole.
