. Anthropology. unknown, or to ourselves i We simply ask the question. The palseontological remains of the succeeding epoch, or EeindeerAge, in Western Europe, have been studied by the authors of the Crania Ethnica, by whom they have been termed the Cro-MagnonBaee, taking as its type the subjects exhumed from the cave of thatname in the P&igord, by Christy and Lartet. As compared withthe Canstadt race, they seem but of yesterday. After an exami-nation, in 1872, of several parts of the Cro-Magnon cave previously Chap, ix.] PREHISTORIC RACES. 439 untouched, we -weie of the same opinion. Their essential charactersare as follows, according to De Quatrefages and Hamy : They aredolichocephalic, like the skulls of the Canstadt race. They have ahigh forehead, broad, and well developed above the superciliaryridges, of average size, the vault being rather high, with a fine curvecontinuing regularly from the forehead to the obelion, where itbends down to form an oblique flat, which is continued on into the.

The frontal bosses, which are as thoughflattened in the preceding race, are in this high and projecting.The face is broad and short in relation to the maximum length ofthe skull, the orbits are deep, in the form of a parallelogram, havinga minimum index of sixty-one, the smallest on record. There isconsiderable prognathism at the sub-nasal portion in the old man ofCro-MagnoHj namely, 62-8° according to one measurement, as muchas in the most prognathous negro.
