Notes on some further Discoveries of Flint Implements in Beds of Post-Pliocene Gravel and Clay; with a few Suggestions for Search elsewhere

Abstract

Since my communication to the Royal Society on the discovery of Flint Implements in post-pliocene beds at Abbeville, Amiens, and Hoxne, similar implements have been found in a few new localities in this country as well as abroad. It is not my object at present to enter into a full account of these additional discoveries, or to touch upon the many and tempting theoretical considerations which suggest themselves, but which yet require further and more varied data. It is for these reasons that I limit myself to a brief stratigraphical description of these localities, for the purpose of directing attention to them before our Session closes, and also to suggest a few other localities where search should be made, in the hope that during the ensuing summer other members of the Society, who may have the opportunity of visiting some of these places, may join in the search and discover fresh facts to throw additional light upon this interesting inquiry.
