CAST Of PRIMITIVE
SKULL ON EXHIBIT
Reproduction of Relic Found
by British in Rhodesia
Shows Earliest Type.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

1
NEW YORK. September IA cast
of skull more nearly resembling the
ape formation than any previously
found was placed on public view to-
day in the American Museum of Nat
ural History. Except that it repre-
sents human relic. scientific opinion
is not yet settled concerning it, and
it seems likely to fan fresh energy
into the lay disput over the theory of
evolution. for the specimen here is an
exact reproduction of the original,
lodged in the British Museum.
When found in Rhodesia, the miners
skull of an ape. Scrutiny by British
anatomists proved that 1t belonged
to man of more primitive type than
any other relic yet exhumed.
This conclusion did not assign to
it necessarily greater antiquity than
the skulls of the well known Mean
derthal men, although there has not
yet been time to clear up that ques-
tion.
DR.. Smith Woodward of the na.u-
raj history department of the British
Museum has declared it a type of q
new species of primitive man. Its
most striking feature is an extremely
low and retreating forehead, with
enormous transverse ridges above the
eyes. corresponding to the brow ridge
of the adult gorilla. There is quite a
distance between nose and mouth,
which gives the face, the appearance
of unusual length.
Prof. q. Elliott, Smith. eminent
British anatomist, says the face is
more brutal than that of any other
human being. living or extinct, owing
to the overgrowth of the facial bones,
especially the browbridge. Palate
and teeth however. are not specially
primitive or at all ape-like. The ca
nine teeth do not project, the wis
dom teeth are smaller than the other
molars and the teeth carry also
marks of carries, disease notably
rare among primitive peoples.
The skull is free from post -mortem
crushing or distortion. 1t seems GER
tain the depressed. form of the cram
ical vault is 9atural and not due to
artificial reformation.
A hole in the base enabled F. Q.
Barlow of the British Museum to
make a perfect cast of the brain
cavity. Its capacity was found to
be 1880 cubic centimeters. which is
small for man six feet tall. although
within the adult human range
AS may be judged from the ex-
ternal shape. the brain was f1atter
on top than occurs with any modern
human race. 1t was deficient in de-
velopment of the upper frontal and
par1etal regions. which are supposed
to be associated in general with the
higher intellectual functions.
Sir Arthur Keith describes the
Rhodesian man as first cousin to
the Neanderthal man." DR.. Smith
Woodward. who is preparing for pub
lication the result of an exhaustive
study of the relic, gave as his first
impression the opinion that the
Rhodesian man represents a later de-
than the Neanderthal man.
not meaning that he is a descendant
OF the Neanderthal man.

PARIS, September 13.-The Matin,
dealing with Edward NJ. Hurley's>plan
for funding the French debt to the
United States, says it is important to
avoid misunderstanding in France
and 1t Is necessary clearly to empha-
size the fact that it is Mr. Hurleys
personal plan.
Mr.. Hurley had an opportunity to
meet M. Clementel. the French finance
minister, in London. NJ. Clementel
listened to his plans, but, according
TO the Matin, took no engagements
for the simple reason that he had no
authority. The paper, however, un-
derstands that the minister has the
intention to attempt to reach an
agreement over the American debt as
soon as an agreement is reached on
the British debt
1t is not impossible, concludes the
Matin; that M. Clementel may visit
the United States early next year
with view to conducting this impor.
tant negotiation personally.
