Abstract
THE account which Prof. Dart published of the Taungs skull (NATURE, Feb. 7, p. 195) left many of us in doubt as to the true status of the animal of which it had formed part, and we preferred, before coming to a decision, to await an examination of the fossil remains, or failing such an opportunity, to study exact casts of them. For some reason, which has not been made clear, students of fossil man have not been given an opportunity of purchasing these casts; if they wish to study them they must visit Wembley and peer at them in a glass case which has been given a place in the South African pavilion.
