REMAINS OF PREHISTORIC
MAN FOUND IN CALIFORNIA

The skeleton of what appears to
have been a prehistoric pigmy, less
than three feet in height, is on its
way from the asphalt beds of La
Brea to the Smithsonian institution
in Washington. If the genuineness of
the find is verified there. the La Brea
skeleton will take place in the history
of anthropology as the first remains
of antideluvian nan found on the
North American continent.
ITO my mind" said Director
Frank Daggett of the museum of
history, science and art. under whose
direction the excavations have been
carried on, there can be no doubt
that these bones are those of a man.
To what geological period he belong
ed must be a matter of conjecture.
Only very careful researches yet to
be made can determine the truth"
Indications are that the skeleton
belongs to the pleistocene period,
roughly placed at 200, 900 years ago.
First was found the skull. Since
then the remainder of the skeleton
said to be in an excellent staate of
preservation, has been scraped from
their casting of asphalt with the most
minute and painstaking care.
Nearby was the trunk, still erect,
of a tree, the summit of which was
overlaid by 20 feet of asphalt. Close
TO the tree trunk were the bones OF
a mammoth bear, of a species already
classified as belonging to the pleis-
tocene period.

neck of land, they believe, came the

will strengthen their contention that
there once was an interchange of life
between the two continents.
