[1670] Lyell’s Antiq. of Man, 4th ed., 236; Nadaillac’s Les premiers hommes, ii. 13; Southall’s Recent origin of man, ch. 30. Vogt (Lectures on Man) accepts the evidence.
[1671] Cf. Lyell’s Antiq. of Man, ch. 5; Huxley’s Man’s place in nature; Le Hon’s L’Homme fossile en Europe; Leslie’s Origin and destiny of man, p. 54, who passes in review these early tentative explorations.
[1672] Cf. Lyell’s description in his Antiquity of Man, ch. 8; Quatrefages, Nat. Hist. Man (N. Y., 1875), p. 41; Langel, L’homme antédiluvien; Büchner’s Man, Eng. transl., ch. 1; Carl Vogt, Vorlesungen über den Menschen.
[1673] Rigollot, of Amiens, who had doubted, finally came to believe in De Perthes’s views.
[1674] Büchner’s Man, p. 26; Hugh Falconer’s Palæontological Memoirs, London, 1868 (ii. 601). Falconer’s essay on “Primæval Man and his Contemporaries,” included in this work, was written in 1863, in vindication of the views which Falconer shared with Boucher de Perthes and Prestwich, and it is an interesting study of the development of the interest in the caves.

[1676] This is in dispute, however. That the older cave implements and those of the drift may be of equivalent age seems to be agreed upon by some.
[1677] Cf. also Geikie’s Great Ice Age; Lubbock’s Prehistoric Times, ch. 10; Evans’s Anc. Stone Implements of Gt. Britain; Wilson’s Prehistoric Annals of Scotland; Nilsson’s Stone Age in Scandinavia; Figuier’s World before the Deluge (N. Y., 1872), p. 473; Joly, Man before Metals, ch. 3; Cazalis de Fondouce’s Les temps préhistoriques dans le sud-est de la France; Roujow’s Etude sur les races humaines de la France; Peschel’s Races of Men, introd.
The scarcity of human remains in the drift and in the caves is accounted for by Lyell (Student’s Elements, N. Y., p. 153) by man’s wariness against floods as compared with that of beasts; and by Lubbock (Prehist. Times, 349) through the vastly greater numbers of the animals in a hunters’ age.
[1678] The present day is not without a cave people. See London Anthropolog. Rev., April, 1869, and Büchner’s Man, Eng. transl., p. 270.
