Summary:
ARW states that CR's remarks about the snails are very interesting; mentions the "old boys" bones, c. 9-10 years old, ask the Pitt-Rivers Museum to put the cranium together for the Dorchester Museum. Also mentions a great discovery of Miocene or Pliocene man in India and flints found in situ. "Hurrah for the Missing Link!".
