the great news caused them to swell with pride.
But, alas! an incautious stroke Of the dscoy-

the matter. The pick Clipped off and destroyed

one of simple anatomical fact. In all human
and anthropod skulls a blood channel runs
along the middle line OF the roof OF the
skull. An unmistakable part of this me-
dian groove remains In one of the Piltdown
fragments. This must conform to the mid
die line OF the reconstruction, but In DR..
Smith-Woodward's reconstruction 1t has
been carried over the middle line TO the
extent of almost an inch.
The reader will readily perceive how this
will affect the brain capacity Of the skull II
he will place the tips of the half-bcnt fingers
of right and left hand together as to en-
close space, representing the bran-cavity,
between them If the fingers are allowed
10 lock, SO that the tips glide past each other
about an inch. 1t will be evident how much
the space enclosed between the hand is
diminished If the parts in the middle limo
OF the roof OF the skull are similarly dis
placed, the reduction of the brain space IS
equally great
Professor Keith restores that inch of
brain capacity, thus showing that this an
Briton was man, not an ape. But still,
scientific doubt remains-and the English
