Excerpt from A Guide to the Fossil Remains of Man in the Department of Geology and Palæontology in the British Museum (Natural History) Cromwell Road, London

Mr. Charles dawson's discovery of the Piltdown skull has aroused so much interest in the study of fossil man, that this small Guide has been prepared to explain its significance. Most of the known specimens important for comparison are represented in the exhibited collection by plaster casts and near these, in the same and adjacent cases, are arranged both human implements and associated animal remains to illustrate the circumstances under which early man lived In western Europe.

Thanks are due to the Council of the Geological Society for permission to reproduce Figs. 4 (a, R), 5, 6 (a, B, D), 8 - 9 (a, B, D), and 13, from the Society's Quarterly Journal.
