belief of entire antiquity, pagan and christian, that the earliest mankind was a race of giants. certain excavations in america in mounds and in caves, have already yielded in isolated cases groups of skeletons of nine and twelve feet high* these belong to tribes of the early fifth race, now degenerated to an average size of between five and six feet. but we can easily believe that the titans and cyclopes of old really belonged to the fourth (atlantean) race, and that all the subsequent legends and allegories found in the hindu puranas and the greek hesiod and homer, were based on the hazy reminiscences of real titans- men of a superhuman tremendous physical power, which enabled them to defend themselves, and hold at bay the gigantic monsters of the mesozoic and early cenozoic times- and o
