Abstract
AT the Oxford meeting of the British Association the first authoritative account of the discovery by Miss D. A. E. Garrod of a human skull associated with Mousterian implements at the Devil's Tower, Gibraltar, was given in a session of the Anthropological Section. The discovery was made on a site which first attracted the attention of the Abbé Breuil in 1917, who observed fragments of bone breccia in a cleft facing an old signal station known as the Devil's Tower. From this he obtained a few Mousterian implements and bones of a variety of animal species, including hyæna and panther, which are now extinct in Spain.
