The discoveries were referred to in a paper, entitled a "Pre-" liminary Report on a Cave containing Palaeolithic Relics, near Inchnadumph, Sutherland," and communicated by J. Gra- ham Callander, F.3.A., Scot, James E. Cree, F.S.A., Seot, and James Richie, D.Sc., F.R.S.E of Antiquaries of Scotland..

The meeting was held in the Library of the National Museum of Antiquities, Queen Street, Edin- burgh. Professor T H. Bryce presided, and the communication was presented by Dr. Richie.

Human Skeletons....

A generous grant, said Dr. Rit- chio, from the Royal Society of London made possible the excava- tion of the caves, and the, present paper summarised briefly the more striking results of the first year's work, which Was continued through the three summer months under the superintendence of Mr. Crec.

Dr. Ritchie illustrated by lan- tern slides the situation of the caves and their relationships to each other and to the valley op- posite.

Within the first or westermost cave, a single artefact and bones of animals of still existing species were found, but in the second, or Reindeer Cave, two bone-bearing deposits occurred, both of grent interest, The upper contained many bones of still existing ape- cies of animals, as well as of Bears, and of two human skole- tons, or parts of skeletons, one had been definitely interred the first formal interment yet found in a Scottish cave.

Moury confessed he had taken the gems from registered luggage, but he accused his chief, Gobillot, of having been the instigator.

Gobillot at first protested; but later a Paris jeweller admitted ho had sold, jewels stolen by the two prisoners, sharing the proceeds with them.

Gobillot and Moury now admit that they and their accomphees have, made over 1,000,000 francs (about £10,000) out of the thefts.

During the last year's meeting at Lympne, Mr. Bert Hinkler, the Avro test pilot, remarked to me. that the goal to aim at was a cluf aeroplane complete with engine for 1500. It was understood that this figure contemplated a new and cheap type of engine which has not yet made its appearance. None the less the Avian aeroplane- which Mr. Hinkler flew at Lympne has now been put of production at the Newton Heath works in Man- chester, and with a Mark 11.

Another remarkable result of the first year's work was the dis- covery in an inner cave, the pre- sence of which had been unsus- pected, of remains of the great extinct Cave Bear which has not hitherto been found in Scotland. It occurs in a deposit, along with other Arctic animals, considerably older than the paleolithic deposit. of the outer Reindeer Cave.

Further excavations are to be made by the authors during the present summer, particularly with a view to defining more clearly the culture of the paleolithic pen- ple of the Alli nan Uamh caves.

JOHN MCCORMACK NAMES- EDDIE JOHNSTON,

Mr. John McCormack, the fum- ous Irish tenor, has returned to London after 18 months in Ameri- ca and Japan with a serious com- plaint and a slimmer figure.

He had something to say about both when a Daily Chronicle re- presentative saw him at the Ritz. I must protest against being billed as the world's greatest tenor

said Mr. McCormack, "I may be among the greatest, but I am not the greatest.

"Who is the greatest to-day, then? Well, to my mind, it la the Canadian, Eddie Johnaton, From the operatle point of view he is unequalled, though some may have a better volce. ·

Speaking of his next tour, he said: "My Dublin visit is a per- sunal invitation from President "Cosgrave, who is a great friend
