  PRE-:ADAMITE:, n.  One of an experimental and apparently unsatisfactory
  race of antedated Creation and lived under conditions not easily

  have been something intermediate between fishes and birds.  Little its
  known of them beyond the fact that they supplied Cain with a wife and
  theologians with a controversy.
  
  

  PRE-:EXISTENCE:, n.  An unnoted factor in creation.
