the less primitive. Its ascending branch is the wider, 
but the Galley Hill ramus shows the more shallow, 
and therefore more primitive, notch between the condylar 
and coronoid processes. The mandible which shows the 
nearest approach to Boucher de Perthes' specimen is one 
known as the Foxhall mandible.-^ It was found in 
the same year, 1863, in the sand pit of Foxhall, near 
Ipswich. The exact stratum from which it came is not 
known. Huxley, Busk, and Falconer had the Foxhall 
specimen by them when they were investigating the 
Moulin Quignon mandible at the College of Surgeons.

The condition of preservation was similar in both cases. 
In fig. 68, I superimpose the drawing given by Dr 
Collyer of the Foxhall jaw on a contemporary drawing 
published of the Moulin Quignon specimen ;'" they are 
almost identical. In the following figure, 69, I contrast 
the Abbeville jaw with that of a Neanderthal man — one of 
the specimens found at Spy. It is at once apparent how 
different they are. The Neanderthal (Spy) specimen is 
by far the more simian, and if we did not know that men 
of the modern type must have been contemporaries of 
the Neanderthal species, we should never hesitate in
