Cranium of a woman, from Cro-Magnon, seen full face. In the Baumes-Chaudes caves, situated in that part of the valley of the Tarn which belongs to the department of Lozere, Dr.
Prunieres' discoveries, were found in the Baumes-Chaudes caves, and Broca in his turn reported the finding of three crania in the cave of L'HOMME MORT, from which great pieces had been taken which had evidently not been lost by accident. From this time excavations and discoveries made under Dr. Prunieres succeeded each other rapidly.
