EARLY MAN.
fUuited Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON; December 19.
The Geological Society discussed the skull discovered at Piltdown, in Sussex, alongside which were mastodon^, teeth and pre-chellean flints. The general opinion was that the skull was of a period .before cavemen, possibly the pliocene period. The skull resembles that of a, young chimpanzee. The jaw is heavy and apelike, and the forehead steep, with scarcely any brow ridges. This is the first evidence of the primitive source whence surviving raan has arisen.
