Abstract
THE oldest remains of Man with which, until now, we were acquainted date back to the middle Pleistocene, to the Moustier period. They are represented by the cave relics from Neanderthal, Spy, Krapina, Naulette, Malarnaud, and possibly Mentone, by the drift relics from Galley Hill and Bury St. Edmunds. In the memoir under notice, however, we have the description of the two halves of a lower jaw for which a much higher antiquity is claimed. They are attributed to the earliest Pleistocene or even to the late Pliocene.
