Autores ResumoTHE last number of the Archiv für Anthropologie contains a short but important article by the eminent zoologist of Basle, Prof. Rütimeyer, on some traces of man recently discovered in the interglacial coal-bed at Wetzikon. Escher von der Linth first called attention to the fact that at several places in East Switzerland, especially on the eastern shore of Lake Zurich from Wetzikon to Utznach, and again in the neighbourhood of the Lake of Constance, there are beds of coal, which are not only covered by, but which also repose on, well-marked glacial deposits, thus clearly proving the existence of more than one period of extreme cold, as first remarked by Morlot, and since confirmed by many observers, and especially by Geikie.
