OHARLOTPEYOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1884,
Prehistoric Man in Egypt and Syria.
A Gala meeting was held by the Victoria Philosophical Institute of London in the second week in May, at which its members gave a worthy welcome to Vice-Chancellor Dawson, C. M. G., of McGill University,
fontreal, at whose instance the British Association visits Canada this year. Society of Arts kindly lent its premises for the occasion, and its great theatre was ,crowded in every part long before the hour of meeting. The chair was taken by Sir | H. Barkly, G. C. M. G., K. C. C., F. R. |8., who—after the new members had been ‘announced by Captain F. Petrie, the secre- \tary—welcomed Dr. Dawson amid loud ‘applause, and asked him to deliver his address: It was on ‘‘Prehistoric Man in |Egypt and Syria,” and was illustrated by |large diagrams, also flint implements and | bones collected by Dr. Dawson himself on | the spot during his winter tour in the East; |Professor Boyd-Dawkins, F. R. 8., kindly assisted in the classification of the bones. \In dealing with his subject, Dr. Dawson \remarked that, great interest attaches to any remains which, in countries historically so old, may indicate the residence of man | before the dawn of history. In Ezypt, jnodules of flint are yery abundant in the Eocene limestones, and, where these have been wasted away, remain on the surface. In many places there is good evidence that the flint thus to be found everywhere has been, and still is, used for the manufacture of flakes, knives and other implements. These, as is well known, were used for many purposes by the ancient Egyptians, and in modern times gun-flints and strike- lights still continue to be made. The debris of worked flints found on the surface is ths of little value as an indication of any flint-folk preceding the old Egyptians. It would be otherwise if flint implements could be found in the older gravels of the country. Some of these are of Pleistocene age, and belong to a period of partial sub- mergence of the Nile Valley. Flint imple- ments had been alleged to be found in these gravels, but there seemed to be no good evidence to prove that they are ether than the chips broken by mechanical vio- lence in the removal of the gravel by tor- rential action. In the Lebanon, numerous caverns exist. These were divided into two classes, with reference to their origin ; some being water-caves or tunnels of subterranean rivers, others sea-caves, excavated by the waves when the country was at a lower level than at present. Both kinds have been occupied by man, and some of them undoubtedly at a time an- terier to the Phcenician occupation of the
country, and even at a time when the animal inhabitants and geographical
features of the region were different from those of the present day. They were thus of various ages, ranging from the post- Glacial or Antediluvian period to the time of the Pheenician oceupation. Dr. Dawson then remarked that many geologists in these days had an aversion to using the word ‘‘Antediluvian,’ on account of the nature of the work which, in years now gone by, unlearned geople had attributed to the Flood described in Scripture, but as the aversion te the use of that word was, he thought, not called for in these days, he hoped it would pass away. Speaking as a geologist, from a purely geological point of view, and from a thorough examination of the country around, there was no doubt but what there was conclusive evidence that between the time of the first occupation of these caves by men—and they were men of a splendid phpsique—and the appearance of the early Pheenician inhabit- ants of the land, there had been a vast submergence of land, and a great catastrophe, aye a stupendous one, in which even the Mediterranean had been altered from a small sea to its present size. In illustration of this, the caverns at the Pass of Nahr-el-Kelb and at Ant Elias were described in some detail, and also, in connection with these, the occurrence of flint implemerts on the surface of modern standstones at the Cape or Ras near Bey- rout; these last were probably of much less antiquity than those of the more ancient caverns. A discussion ensued, which was taken part in by a number of distinguished | Fellows of the Royal Society, including Sir Hf. Barkly, F. R. S., Professors Wiltshire, F. R. S., Warrington Smyth, F. R. &., Rupert Jones, F. R. §., Colonel Herschel, F. R. 8., the talented son of the late Sir John Herschel; Dr. Rae, F. R. 8., the Arctic explorer; Dr. Dawson, F. R. 8.; Mr. D. Howard, the vice-president of the Chemical Institute, and other geologists, The meeting afterwards adjourned to the Museum, where refreshments were served.

Sturgeon on the way toe their spawning grounds, from down the river are due here from the 4th of May. Owing to the low water a good catch may be expected.

A Fargo, Dakota, despatch says:—A number of heavy wheat growers assembled yesterday to witness an experiment in steam plowing. A traction engine drew eight plows turning thé sod four inches thick as well as could be done by horsepower, and at the rate of twenty-five acres a day. This will mark a new era in wheat growing, as it will enable farmers to plow at a cost of one dollar au acre.
