Abstract
THE two areas of excavation under review lie to the west and east of Cuba respectively. Cayo Redondo is a swamp island close to the sea at the head of Guadiana Bay; the Maniabon hills have yielded a number of kitchin midden sites and a cave habitation. Everything earlier than the coming of the Spaniards is, of course, prehistoric, and the early story of Cuba has still to be written in detail. But the generalized outline is known and much suggestive information can be obtained from the volume under review.
