POUND IN PATAGONIA. (Received 10.30 a.m.) BUENOS AIRES, February 27. Dr. J. G. Wolf, formerly attached to the Canadian geological survey, and now explorer for La Plata Museum, has announced the discovery of a fossilised human skull of the tertiary period during excavations in Patagonia. The lower jaw is missing, but otherwise the skull is almost perfect, the eye and teeth sockets being clearly defined. The cranium is long and oval, and the forehead extremely low and sloping.— (A. and N.Z. Cable*.)
