Abstract

IN his most interesting article on the London Skull, in NATURE of November 7, Prof. G. Elliot Smith states that “The deposit in which the human remains were found forms part of the third (or lowest) terrace of the Thames containing the characteristic late Pleistocene fauna… presumptive age [of the skull] must be assumed to be later than the Mousterian phase of culture”.
