ABSTRACT

The skull from the cave of Engis was originally discovered by Professor Schmerling, and was described by him, together with other human remains disinterred at the same time, in his valuable work, “Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles découverts dans les cavernes de la Province de Liege,” published in 1833, (p. 59, et seq.) from which the following paragraphs are extracted, the precise expressions of the author being, as far as possible, preserved.
