Abstract
EARLY MAN IN RUSSIA.—In a recent number of the Russian Anthropological Journal, Prof. A. P. Pavlow, of Moscow, records the discovery of the fronto-parietal portion of two human skulls in a Pleistocene deposit near the village of Oundory, on the lower Volga. He describes them as in the same mineralised condition as the bones of the mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, reindeer, camel, and other Pleistocene mammals with which they were associated. A human humerus, in the same state of preservation, was found with them. The brow-ridges in the skulls are not strongly marked, and Prof. Pavlow concludes that the new specimens may be referred to the same race as the skulls from Combe-Capelle, Briinn, and probably Predmost. He thinks the much-discussed skull from Galley Hill may be placed with them.
