BOX OF BONES OF FIRST MANS
CONTEMPORARIES BROUGHT HERE
DIR. Hrdlicka Receives Remains of Animals Which
Lived in Time Of Pihecanthropus Erectus,
Collected Recent Trip.

A box of bones arrived at the Ma
tional Museum yesterday from the
site OF the earliest known precursor
Of man-the ape.man Pithecanthropus,
who lived In central Java from a
half million TO a million years ago.
These bones were collected by DR.
Ales Hrdlicka on his trip to the Far
East this Summer and are those Of
extinct animals who probably We're
contemporaries of the ancient hu-
manoid. Fossilized bones. DR.. Hrd-
licka said. are quite common about
the Pithecanthropus site, but thus
far the only ones that could possibly
belong to a relative of the human
family are some teeth, a skull cap
and thigh-bone. from which scientists

and there is every reason to believe
chat other pre-human bones will re-
ward a search. Thus far only two ex-
peditions have examined the site--that

thropus was discovered. and a German
expedition in 1910. This Is because

between the mastodon and the ele-
phant.
There are no flesh-eating animals
represented. so that no light is thrown
on a possible ason for the disap-
pearance Of the Pithecanthropus race.
Bones of this particular extinct type
have been found nowhere else. 1t
was an animal far nearer to man than
any Of the living apes and yet far be-
low any human breed and is not con-
sidered a true man, but rather as one
of natures failures in the evolution
of the human type.
DR.. Hrdlicka made considerable
collection Of fossil bones from other
sites in the East which are expected
at the National Museum shortly.
So numerous are the bones on the
PithecanthropuS site, he said. that
he was able to hire native boys to go
out and collect them. They are
