$BOORPLEKAAN\iVYSING VIR WATER IN SUiDWES-TRANSVAAL$

critical of Francis Vere, who is cagey about allowing authors to quote from his works, fails to justify apparent contradictions from those he quotes (such as Mabel Kenward of Piltdown and L. F. Salzmann of the Sussex Archaeological Society), considers Dawson to be an expert geologist and archaeologist in one chapter and a clumsy amateur in another, and so on. Teilhard is cryptically referred to as ‘Mephisto’, and the writer asks if ‘Weiner could now say plainly whether, in his opinion, Teilhard is or is not that “remarkably shadowy figure” Mephisto.’ Weiner (1973a) did indeed reply. Hillaby had previously contributed a feature on the Piltdown exposure to the New York Times on 22 Nov 1953, which included comments from E. A. Hooton.) Hinton, M. A. C. 1926. The Pleistocene Mammalia of the <strong>British</strong> Isles and their bearing upon the date of the Glacial period. Proceedings of the Yorkshire <strong>Geological</strong> Society, 20 (3), 325–348. (Notes, p. 334, ‘that the famous deposit at Piltdown occupies a very similar position, in relation to its local stream, to that occupied by the High Terrace in relation to the Thames. At Piltdown, in my opinion, we see dim indications of what the fauna of the South of England was in the earliest part of the High Terrace stage... Eoanthropus himself is surely as primitive a mammal as one could wish to find in a post-glacial deposit; too primitive probably to be associated with Chellean implements, but possibly responsible for the Eoliths. Mastodon takes us back to Norwich Crag times; the primitive elephant Stegodon to an even older, perhaps middle, Pliocene horizon (if we were to judge the case by the Indian standards), while Hippopotamus, red deer, horse, and beaver of recent European type, can all be matched in Cromerian deposits.’) Hinton, M. A. C. 1953. Piltdown Man forgery: investigators’ access to fragments. The Times, 4 Dec, 2. (Claims, with only partial justification (see Spencer 1990b, 227–8), that fraud would have been suspected sooner had researchers been permitted to handle original specimens from Piltdown, rather than casts― evidently Hinton, who worked at the Natural History Museum, had himself been denied access to original material. Spencer quotes a letter from Hinton to J. S. Weiner, dated 11 May 1955, in which he states that ‘from the beginning I was sure a false association had been made by Smith Woodward – he had lined up the jaw of a chimpanzee (I still regard it as that and not Gorilla) with a human skull... I think the original discovery of the skull by the workmen was very likely genuine – but the rest was a practical joke which succeeded only too well...’) Hinton, M. A. C. & Kennard, A. S. 1905. The relative ages of the stone implements of the Lower Thames Valley. Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, 19 (2), 76‒100, plate I. (The authors endeavour to show that it is possible to divide the history of the Lower Thames Valley into several stages, which can be used in the classification of flint implements. Though ‘such a scheme can only be local in its application, yet it is possible that a correlation may be made with the implementiferous beds of other river systems...’) Hinton, M. A. C. (see Savage 1963 for obituary) Hirschon, N. 1992. More views on the Piltdown saga. Adler Museum Bulletin, 18 (2), 23‒25. (A contribution to the discussion concerning the accusations of Tobias 1992c against Arthur Keith) Holden, E. W. 1980a. An echo of Piltdown. Sussex Archaeological Society Newsletter, no. 30 (Apr), 201. (Recounts the strange story of ape-like man resident at Fletching, near Piltdown, in the first half of the 19th century, who was kept chained up by his mother. He appears to have died in the 1860s, but, being regarded as a soulless monster, could not be buried in hallowed ground. It was thought he might have been buried quietly at Piltdown because old horses had been interred there. The implication was that Piltdown Man might be this unfortunate individual. The story was told by an old inhabitant to E. Cecil Curwen in Jan 1954, shortly after news of the Piltdown fraud was made public.) Holden, E. W. 1980b. The photographic survey of Sussex. Sussex Archaeological Society Newsletter, no. 32 (Dec), 215–216. (Photographs, negatives and slides acquired by the Sussex Archaeological Society during 1903–04 in connection with a photographic survey of Sussex had to be transferred to Brighton Reference Library because of Charles Dawson’s ‘unexpected’ acquisition in 1903 of the Society’s headquarters at Castle Lodge, Lewes. The Society was obliged to move to temporary accommodation at 35 High Street, where there was insufficient storage space. ‘The late Dr. L.F. Salzman once told the writer that, because of Dawson’s somewhat questionable conduct concerning the purchase of Castle Lodge, the Society ignored his ‘discoveries’ at Piltdown a few years later.’ See also Salzman 1946) Holden, E. W. 1981. The Lavant Caves. Sussex Archaeological Society Newsletter, no. 34 (Aug), 244. (As an added note to McCann 1981, quotes an extract from an article [by Emerson & Weiner], which appeared in the Sunday Times, 16 Jan 1955, where it is stated that an ‘accusation of unreliability was later made of Dawson’s work in connection with the excavation of the Lavant Caves. From this source he had produced some finds which had struck everyone as very singular. A later investigator [presumably Allcroft 1916] attempting to
verify and interpret these curious discoveries, alleged, with irritation, that the records of the work were imprecise to the point of being virtually useless.’ See comments by Houghton 1981) Holliday, R. & Williams, P. 1978. Professor is named as Piltdown hoaxer. Sunday Telegraph, 29 Oct, front & back pages. (The Sunday Telegraph appears to have been the first newspaper to publish Beverley Halstead’s presentation of Prof. James Douglas’s ‘evidence’ implicating Prof. W. J. Sollas as co-conspirator with Dawson in the Piltdown fraud. Douglas’s assertion is contained in a 20-minute tape recording, parts of which are here quoted, together with remarks from Richard Ford, an amateur palaeontologist who prompted Douglas to make the recording. Douglas died on 27 Feb 1978. See Halstead 1978. The Daily Telegraph also ran a feature the following day by R. B. O’Brien entitled ‘‘Brains’ behind Piltdown Man hoax is named’) Hooton, E. A. 1916. The evolution of the human face and its relation to head form. Dental Cosmos, 58, 272–281. (Eoanthropus, pp. 277–278) Hooton, E. A. 1931. Up from the ape. New York: Macmillan, xvii,626 pp. (Dame Eoanthropus: the first female intellectual, pp. 302‒314; a detailed analysis of the skull and jaw of the ‘Piltdown lady’, the integrity of which is not doubted by the writer, who was Professor of Anthropology at Harvard University.) Hooton, E. A. 1954. Comments on the Piltdown affair. American Anthropologist, 56 (Apr), 287–289. (Expresses reservations about the accuracy of the tests undertaken by Oakley and his team) Hopwood, A. T. 1935. Fossil elephants and man. Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, 46 (1), 46–60. (Piltdown, pp. 47–51: the writer has made a fresh examination of the Piltdown mammalian fauna and believes that the human remains, judged purely on their state of preservation, more properly belong with that part of the assemblage which has been assigned to the Pliocene and includes Mastodon and Elephas cf. planifrons.) Hopwood, A. T. (see also Osborn 1942) Horst, M. 1921. Ein zweiter “Halbmenschen”-Fund von Piltdown. Neuw Weltanschauung, 10, 72–77. Hoskins, C. R. & Fryd, C. F. M. 1955.

Sussex Archaeological Society Newsletter, no. 35 (Dec), 253. (With reference to comments by Holden 1981, who asks, in the light of an article that appeared in the Sunday Times in 1953, whether any reliance can be placed on Charles Dawson’s manuscript account of the Lavant Caves excavation, Houghton points out that doubts raised in the Sunday Times were based on statements alleged to have been made by L. F. Salzman, who subsequently wrote to the newspaper (Salzman 1953) stating that the allegation was ‘completely untrue’.) Howard, P. 1974. History is lies―ask the Piltdown Man. The Times, 30 March, 14. (Article prompted by the findings of Lieutenant-Colonel P. B. S. Andrews of Maresfield Park, who has shown that a purported historical map of the Maresfield Forge, credited to Charles Dawson, is a forgery. The article is evidently based on an interview with Andrews and led to the publication of a fuller account by him in the Sussex Archaeological Collections for 1974, although Andrews had died by the time of its appearance.) Howells, W. 1947. Mankind so far. American Museum of Natural History Science Series, 5, xii, 319 pp, 7 plates. (Considers that the evidence in regard to Piltdown Man has become so confused that no definite decision can be advanced concerning its status) Hrdlička, A. 1914. The most ancient skeletal remains of man. Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution, for 1913, 491–552, 41 plates. (The “Eoanthropus Dawsoni”, pp. 501–509, plates 5–8, being a summary of published findings. At the time of writing, Hrdlička had been unable to examine any of the Piltdown material at first hand and thus could offer no original observations.) Hrdlička, A. 1916. The most ancient skeletal remains of man. 2nd ed. Washington : Smithsonian Institution, Publication no. 2300, 63 pp. Hrdlička, A. 1922. The Piltdown jaw. American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 5 (4), 337–347. (During a recent visit to London the writer was able to undertake a close and lengthy examination of the Piltdown jaw and skull. He was struck by a strong feeling of incongruity and lack of relationship between the two parts.
