It is not so very long ago since \Vorsaae’s epoeli‘making book first firmly established the primitive division of the early autumn past into the three ages of stone, of brome, and (if iron. Then came the dis- cor 'ies of Boucher dc l’erthes and others, systenintized by Lyell, which resulted in the recognition of that still earlier stone pe- riod described by Sir John Lubbock as pale- olithie. Since that date the arehzeologists of France and England have advanced to a r gular classification in order of time of the \- st heterogeneous collection of human re- mains belonjejimor to the elder stone age ; but the results of their researches have hardly yet obtainmb suilieient general recognition outside the restricted seientirie circle. it is probable that most cultivated people still continue mentally to divide the prehistoric period into three :1.ch of stone, bronze, and iron, and to subdivide the firstnamed age into ill paleolithic and neolithic epoch. in reality such a division, though practically convenient, is grotesquely disproportionate. The so-ealled stone age is made to extend ove' an enormous lapse of time, and to in- clude portions of the geological tertiary pe- riod, the whole of the quaternary, and part of the recent; while the small remainder of the recent period is handed over to the bronze and iron ages. This scheme is almost as absurd as a division of English history into the Victorian, the Georgian, and the pre~Georgian epochs, the last-named being subdivided once more i =3 to the Anglo-Saxon and Elizabethan periods. French arelneolo- gists have far more correctly recognized six main divisions of prehistoric time, the first five being equivalent to what we ordinarily describe as the palcolithie age, and the sixth comprising the neolithic, bronze, and iron ages, or the “recent” period of geologists. It is only by such it stricter and more chron- ologically accurate subdivision that we can properly appreciate the great slowness of human evolution in its earlier stages. and the vast lapse of time covered by the so- cflled paleolithic period. collars "Let me oxplain.
