These fossils consisted of the upper part of a cranium, a leli femur, and two molar SHOES! SHOES! SHOES! teeth. He reconstructed these fossils, and ex- pressed the belief that the bones, belonged to the same skeleton, and formed the remains of an animal midway between man and the higher apes, and of pleistocent age. About this discovery and thens theories much diver- sity of opinion arose and still exists. It was ‘with the object of cleiring up the uncertainty hat Dr. Elbarts set but on his exploring ex- pedition.
Before leaving for South Sumatra ke gave a Tectoce in Mid-Java as ́to his researches at Trisil, and showed that he had made consider- able additions to, the knowledge of the fossil
deposits. He found roughly fashioned insire ments of bone, a fireplace, and the remains of extinct animals,, from which he becams con... vicced that the ape-man minst have existed at & remoter period. In the province of Madiom,
