Abstract
OUTSIDE Java, which has yielded many important finds of fossil remains from the Pithecanthropus group of mankind and an abundance of fossil vertebrates, as well as two distinct palæolithic industries (the Patjitan chopper chopping-tool complex with an intrusion of 7 per cent Acheul hand-axes, and the Sangiran flake industry), palæolithic finds have not hitherto been made in the Indonesian Archipelago.
