A human skull reported, by Prof. J. D. Whitney, as found in
1886 in a Tertiary auriferous gravel deposit, lying below a
bed of black lava, in Calaveras County, California. It is
regarded as very doubtful whether the skull really belonged
to the deposit in which it was found. If it did, it indicates
an unprecedented antiquity for human beings of an advanced
type.
