    88/272 (page 84)
    69-72 and (female) 68-58; forehead fairly well developed; face strongly prognathic; chin slightly receding; stature small, 5 feet to 5 feet 2 inches in height. The position of these negroid skeletons in the cave was nearly 2| feet lower than that of another skeleton which measured 6 feet 31 inches from head to foot. This veritable giant has been described by Dr. Verneau as belonging to the Cro-Magnon race—thus proving the existence of two very different, races in the same locality, and almost on the same chronological horizon.
