Abstract
I MUST adhere to my decision not to play the part of Secutor any further to a glacial Retiarius in the arena of NATURE. If his net be strong enough to carry the Upper Pleiocene and the Pleistocene mammalia of Europe, as well as Palæolithic man and the Neolithic skull of Olmo, I wish him joy of them. If, further, he will kindly give me the proof that the mammalia of Auvergne, considered Upper Pleiocene by Falconer, Gaudry, Gervais, and other leading palæontologists, are, as he terms them, “a hash up,” they shall be properly served and iced, if necessary, in my second edition.
