A WOMAN'S BRAINS.
WHERE THEY WERE LARGER, DISCOVERY IN JAVA SKULL. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Dec. 30, 11.35 p.m. •Hague, Dec. 30. Pyofessor Dubois, the discoverer of the pithecanthropus remains in Java,, informed the Royal Society in Amsterdam that he also discovered two fossilised human skulls in the Wadjak district of Java. As a result of Dr. S, A. Smith's account of a skull found at Taljai (Queensland), Professor Dubois re-examined the Java skulls, and he finds they are very like the skulls of Australian blacks, though more massive, and with more massive jaws. He concludes that Java in ancient times was occupied by the Australoid stock. One skull, apparently that of a woman, has a brain capacity a seventh larger than the Englishwoman to-day.—A'lw.-N.Z, Cable Assn.
