Abstract

THE prehistory of the Italian peninsula has, for some reason or another, remained very obscure, and any information upon it has been difficult to obtain. It is true, of course, that the magnificent researches of the Grimaldi caves, published in the Prince of Monaco's series, threw a flood of light on the early story of that district, and some scattered information on palæolithic finds appeared as a sort of introduction to T. E. Peet's volume on the “Stone and Bronze Ages in Italy.” But as the author of the work under review says, it was really not until Dr. Mochi threw himself into the study of these early problems that investigations on modern lines were initiated.
