155 : 5 _seq._ G. Elliot Smith, 1; Peet, 2, pp. 164 _seq._ Fleure and
James use the terms Neolithic and Mediterranean interchangeably. Recent
study is giving a somewhat different interpretation to the significance
of the megaliths. See the article by H. J. Fleure and L. Winstanley in
the 1918 _Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great
Britain and Ireland_. On the megaliths see also the note to p. 129 : 2
_seq._

155 : 27–156 : 4. See the notes to p. 192.

156 : 8. Sergi, 4, p. 70.
156 : 10. Gauls. D’Arbois de Jubainville, 1, XIV, p. 364, says:
“Hannibal left Spain for Italy in 218, but he left there a Carthaginian
army in the ranks of which marched auxiliaries furnished by the Celtic
peoples of Spain; Roman troops came to combat this army and four years
after the departure of Hannibal, (_i. e._ in 214), they gave many
battles to the Carthaginian generals where the Celts were vanquished. In
the booty there were found abundant Gallic trappings, especially a great
number of collars and bracelets of gold; among the dead of the
Carthaginian army left upon the plain were two petty Gallic kings,
Moencapitus and Vismarus. Livy, who tells us these things, says
distinctly that the trappings were Gallic (Gallica) and that the kings
were Gallic. See Livy, I, XXIV, c. 42.”
156 : 13. See the note to p. 192.
156 : 16. Feist, 5, p. 365, is one of the authors who notes the fact
that classic writers spoke of light and dark types in Spain.
156 : 18. This of course means racial evidence. See Mommsen, _History of
the Roman Provinces_, I, chap. II, and Burke, _History of Spain_, p. 2.
156 : 25–157 : 3. On the history of the Albigenses the most important
authority is C. Schmidt, _Histoire de la secte des Cathares ou
Albigeois_, Paris, 1849. The Albigenses were deeply indebted to the
Arabic culture of Saracenic Spain, which was the medium through which
much of the ancient Greek science and learning was preserved to modern
times.
157 : 4. Ripley, pp. 260 _seq._ For an exhaustive résumé of the subject
see Rice Holmes, 2, pp. 277–287. Also consult the notes to p. 235 : 17
of this book.
157 : 6. See p. 122 for the predominance of the Mediterraneans.
