Abstract
AMONG the questions discussed by the anatomical section of the International Congress of Medicine was the date and reconstruction of the famous Piltdown skull. At South Kensington the fossil portions of the skull have been put together by Dr. Smith Woodward so as to represent a being partly ape, partly human, and named Eoanthropus dawsonii. From this model the brain gives a capacity of 1076 c.c.—an amount intermediate between the highest anthropoid and the highest form of man.
