| Description: | This is a weird story laid in a segregated part of South America where the evolutionary clock stopped at the Pleistocene age of development. News of this anachronistic marvel reaches a famous London paleontologist, and he arranges an expedition of investigation. His party consists of himself, his daughter, her two suitors, and a servant, the only living human beings who know of the existence of the spot they seek. The perilous adventures of this tiny party when they meet the sabre-tooth tiger, the glyptodent, the mastodon, the toxodent, and finally the hairy, clucking Pleistocene man himself, are thrilling enough, but the climax in tenseness is reached when one of the two suitors answers the call of the wild and deserts to the Pleistocene ranks, carrying his firearms with him. —The Saturday Review of Literature, October 15, 1927.
