Extract

Having a short time since drawn up a brief statement of the evidences upon which the presumed antiquity of the human race in Western Europe is based, and also some account of the animals found associated with early man in this region, I have ventured to think it may be found of sufficient interest to lay before this Society.

page 61 note 2 Those interested in these researches, who have not yet personally inspected the rich collection of Pre-historic remains, so admirably arranged and displayed in the Ethnological department of the British Museum, and the Christy Collection (exhibited on Fridays,—admission by ticker, obtainable gratis any day at the British Museum), under the able direction of A. W. Franks, Esq., F.R.S., F.S.A., F.G.S.,—should take the first occasion to do so, and they will find themselves well repaid by seeing probably the best collection extant of works of early and savage man from all countries.
