Abstract
THE ICE AGE AND MAN.—In the January and April, issues of Man, Messrs. H. J. E. Peake and J. Reid Moir have published schemes correlating the palæolithic types of culture with the geological strata. The conclusions proposed by both writers agree fairly, except that in Mr. Reid Moir's scheme the position of the Alpine glaciations has been moved up one stage. On this Mr. Peake remarks: “According to Mr. Reid Moir the Mousterian straddles the Riss, while Obermaier has argued with much force that it straddles the Wurm, and the Mag-dalenian immediately precedes the Würm, while Penek and Schmidt have shown that this phase extended into the Bühl. This divergence seems to require some explanation.”
