Letter, Louis Leakey, Steen Cottage, Great Munden, Ware, Hertfordshire, to Percy George Hamnall Boswell He has returned from Berlin and must let Boswell know about the new skull, although it is confidential for now, as the Germans have not even published a preliminary note. Leakey thinks the skull is Gamblian rather than Kamasian. The culture is a very fine Lavalloisian which they had not recognised. Reck and the others had mistaken tortoise cores for Chellean hand axes. There are many flakes with the cores. The skull is a new species of Palaeolanthropus, not even Homo, let alone Homo sapiens. Once again there is the association of a species allied to Neanderthal man with the Levallois-Mousterian culture. The German find has no direct bearing on his Kanjera finds, but only in an indirect way. He will give details when he sees Boswell. 6 August 1936
