ERRORS AND CHANGES

A copy of at least one printer's (galley) proof is presented to each author of a paper published in this Journal. Occasionally, type-written copies are also submitted to authors, for verifications of editorial revisions, before the manuscripts are forwarded to the printer. Frequently, besides, a second (paged) printer's proof is sent to authors, to afford further opportunity for the detection and correction of mistakes.

Shortly after the publication of the successive issues of this Journal, we send to each author concerned a copy of his paper, or discussion, and of the corresponding "contents" abstract (taken from a finished copy of the number), with the request that a careful examination be made for the detection and formal correction of any errors that might have appeared. Special effort is made, by the editorial and publication offices, to prevent the occurrence of typographical and other errors but, of course, occasional oversights are inevitable. We desire, however, publicly and formally to correct errors when they occur, and to afford authors opportunity promptly to record revisions, in order that this Journal may attain the highest possible realization of the ideal of perfect accuracy in every statement published on its pages.

We summarize, below, the only corrections and revisions that have been reported to us by the authors of the contents of Vol. II and nos. 1, 2 and 3 of this volume.

Page 688; supplementary comment on the "Piltdown problem." While Part V was in press, and since that time, Professor Osborn, Dr. Matthew and Professor J. H. McGregor have each examined the original Piltdown remains, and the later ones described (1917) by Smith Woodward. They have all come to the conclusion that the more recently discovered lower molar tooth is much like the original type, and that it lends strong evidence in favor of Smith Woodward's conclusion that the ape-like lower jaw belongs with the man-like skull. They also indorse Smith Woodward's conclusion that the ape-like canine is a lower and not an upper one, and the same opinion is held by Dr. Milo Hellman, whose intimate knowledge of the occlusal surfaces of teeth lends weight to his opinion.

Page 123. Dr. Milo Hellman has written as follows to Dr. Gregory, in comment on section "(9)": The last part of the sentence referring to molar occulsion is true only of the third molars. In the first and second molars the disto-lingual slopes of the disto-buccal cusps of the upper molars come into occlusal relation with the mesio-buccal slopes of the mesio-buccal cusps of the lower molars distal to them. It would therefore appear that the molar occlusion in man has not entirely lost its primitive character even on the buccal side. In instances where this occlusal relationship is disturbed, it should more properly be considered either as an individual variation or as an anomalous manifestation. (Disto-buccal cusp=metacone. Mesio-buccal cusp of lower molars=protoconid.)
