When the Neolithic invaders from

OF life of the Continent began to
change. The Palaeolithic tribes had
been hunters; the Neolithic men were
pastoral race and having found
countries convenient for settlement
shey became sedentary and grew their
provisions by their doors. Thus IL is
10 the Neolithic men that We owe,
probably, domestic animals and the
Trincipai food plants. Schenk, in Pre-
historic Switzerland" has recently col
lected the evidence for the first appear
anee of cultivated plants. OF these
corn is the most ancient. or one of the :
most ancient. NJ. Petite and Boule-
have found examples of it in the wefl-
known deposits of Mas-d-Azil which
marks the close of the Clipped flint or
Palaeelithic era. This prehistoric corn =,
is identical with that still cultivated
for strawplaiting in the Gruyere vail

owski believes that this vegetable spe-

Egyptian wheat has also been found
among the fossil remains. Barley is al
so fairly frequent; it is represented by
six distinct varieties. Rye and oats. on
the other hand, occur very rarely. Flax
is represented by a species different
from that which is grown today
though it still flourishes wild along the
shores of the Mediterranean. The 9th.
or plants whose prehistoric traces have
come down to us were apparently gath

cut in quarters and dried; more espec-

flourishing can be identified. But there,
seems to have been no cultivation Of
