PRELIMINARY NOTE ON THE ANCIENT HUMAN SKULL-REMAINS FROM THE TRANSVAAL.
Abstract
Towards the end of the year 1913 Mr. F. W. FitzSimons, of the Port Elizabeth Museum, was shown the portion of the skull-cap herein described which had been unearthed in making an underground drain on the farm Kolonies Plaats, Boskop, in the Potchefstroom district of the Transvaal.He recognised it as a human relic, and proceeded to make further excavations on the site.A year later further excavations were made by officers of the South African Museum and the Port Elizabeth Museum aided by a .grantfrom the Royal Society of South Africa, but the results obtained were very poor.The remains found consist of a large portion of a calvaria, the horizontal portion of the left ramus of the mandible, the major portion of .a. temporal bone, and some fragmentary limb-bones.It is intended that these remains shall be described more fully later; but in view of notices of .a. misleading character which have already appeared in print, it has been thought advisable to publish a preliminary note with a few details.For permission to do this, I have to thank Dr. Peringuey, the

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
