Abstract
THE fossil human skull and mandible to be described by Mr. Charles Dawson and Dr. Smith Woodward at the Geological Society as we go to press is the most important discovery of its kind hitherto made in England. The specimen was found in circumstances which seem to leave no doubt as to its geological age, and the characters it shows are themselves sufficient to denote its extreme antiquity. It was met with in a gravel which was deposited by the river Ouse near Piltdown Common, Fletching, Sussex, at a time when that river flowed at a level eighty feet above its present course.
