註釋

Stanley Waterloo (1846-1916) was the author of: A Man and a Woman (1892), An Odd Situation (1893), The Story of Ab (1897), Armageddon: A Tale of Love, War and Invention (1898), The Wolf's Long Howl (1899), The Seekers (1900), The Story of a Strange Career (1902), The Cassowary: What Chanced in the Cleft Mountains (1906), A Son of the Ages, Christmas 200,000 B. C., An Ulm, The Rain-Maker, and The Child. "It was Christmas in the year 200,000 B. C. It is true that it was not called Christmas then-our ancestors at that date were not much given to the celebration of religious festivals-but, taking the Gregorian calendar and counting backward just 200,000 plus 1887 years this particular day would be located. There was no formal celebration, but, nevertheless, a good deal was going on in the neighborhood of the home of Fangs. Names were not common at the time mentioned, but the more advanced of the cave-dwellers had them. Man had so far advanced that only traces of his ape origin remained, and he had begun to have a language. "
