C.—Theories over the antiquity of man In Peru were scarcely borne out by the recent ex pedition nt Hr. Alex Hrdlicka, of the ■ National Museum, according to a re | port made public today. Nothing sug gesting u.hything older than the pre- Columbian Indian was found, it was j said. The expedition covered several hun dred miles of the Peruvian coast, In cluding hitherto unexplored regions In the western Cordilleras. “Aside from the cemeteries or burial eaves of the common coast or moun tain people and their archaeological remains there was no sign of human occupation of these regions,” said tho report. "Not a trace suggesting any thing older than the well-represented pre-Columbian Indian was found any where; and neither the coast nor the mountain population, so far us stu died, cun he regarded as very ancient In the regions they* Inhabited. N) signs Indicated that any group occu pied any of the sites for even as long as twenty centuries; nor does it seem tMat any of these people developed i their culture, except in some particu lars, In these places." The National Museum sayH that the : insults of the expedition will prove of I unusual value of anthropology, "While some of the links of the 'chain of evidence are still wanting,” I the report declares, "it can now bo said with certainty that the Peru \ lan coast from Khlclayo In the north to Yauea In the south—a distance of over 600 miles was peopled predom inantly before the advent of the whites ;by one and the same physical type |of Indian. The natives seem to have j been free from general body ailments ! before the advent of the white man.' PAN A M A~s\ Ladies’ Small Shapes. $2.00. j P. F. SHERON & COMPANY 1 578-80 Broad.
