Man of Neanderthal Type in the Cambridge Fens

Abstract

THE bones of primaeval man are so rare, and there is so much uncertainty as to the mode of occtfffence and association of the earlier specimens, that it is important to place on record any new case which may be brought under our notice. I have had the good fortune lately to assist in digging out the skeleton of a man whose skull was distinctly of Neanderthal type. In this case I think lam justified in using that name, because as much as was preserved of the Neanderthal man is represented in the skull now described, and is similar to it.
