“There are stranger things” wrote old Aubrey, “than a man sees in a journey between Staines and Windsor.” Doubtless there are, and not the least strange in modern times is the discovery of the works of men's hands in association with the bones of mammoths and other extinct terrestrial beasts, which have always hitherto been supposed to have passed away before the “lord of all he surveys” made his appearance. For years it has been the practice of geologists to ignore any asserted evidence of human remains in the same strata with those of the great extinct mammalia, and certainly, generally speaking, the evidence offered was carelessly got, or only very imperfectly substantiated, so that, in its general weakness and unreliableness there is some justification of the practice. An energetic French antiquary, however, has brought the matter so prominently forward, and substantiated his assertions by discoveries and proofs at once so novel and so convincing, that geologists and antiquaries were both alike compelled to investigate the matter, and neither have hesitated to accept the proofs afforded.
