204 THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN 
and verified his conclusions.^ At Clichy he found the 
same deposits, in the same order as at Abbeville, as at St 
Acheul, and as at Galley Hill. Each stratum carried in 
it the corresponding Palaeolithic culture. The skeleton 
at Clichy, he has proved, lay in a deposit which corresponds 
to the one in which the Galley Hill skeleton was em- 
bedded. At Galley Hill the human remains lay in the 
loam under the middle gravel, the stratum which contains 
palasoliths of the Chelles period. At Clichy the human 
skeleton lay in a grey loam with bands of gravel and of 
sand which at St Acheul contains the typical Chellean 
industry. 
The discoveries at Clichy and at Galley Hill revealed 
very similar kinds of men. At Clichy a whole skeleton 
was represented ; we have clearly to do with a burial — 
one made probably from a Chellean land surface. As at 
Galley Hill, the individual found had a remarkably long 
head, 204 mm., with a width of 138 mm. — almost to a 
millimetre the length and width of the Galley Hill skull. 
Unfortunately, at Clichy the lower part of the forehead 
was broken away, but the bones of the vault have the 
same extreme thickness as at Galley Hill — 10 to 13 mm. 
The height of the vault above the ear-holes is almost 
the same — 118 mm., a low roof for such a long skull. 
The ear-holes are wide and the mastoid process small — 
exactly as in the Galley Hill skull. On the other hand, 
there is a difference as regards the lower limbs. The 
Galley Hill tibia was not flattened from side to side ; in 
the Clichy skeleton flattening was present. Both were 
persons of low stature. Can we suppose that the work- 
men at Galley Hill and at Clichy had a supernatural 
knowledge and implanted those two similar but peculiar 
varieties of men in the same geological stratum, and in 
the midst of the same ancient. Palaeolithic culture ? As 
regards size of brain, the Clichy man, judging from the 
measurements of the skull, should be about of the same 
brain capacity as the Galley Hill man — under i 500 c.c.
