 the town of Framingham, Mass. Reports a cache of a peck of chipped 

 implements near that town. 



Thompson, Miss Mary F. — No mounds occur near Brattleborough, 

 Vt. There is a rock inscription three-fourths of a mile from R., on a 

 io:k near the mouth of West River, 100 yards southwest and 550 yards 

 west of its junction with Connecticut River. The figures represent fish- 

 hawks or eagles, and are hammered in depth one-eighth of an inch.

CENTRAL AMERICA. 



Flint, Earl. — Has discovered near Grenada, Nicaragua, a cave in 

 which the author claims to have found inscriptions upon the walls made 

 before the cave was filled by a tertiary deposit, which petrified after the 

 inscriptions were made. The sandstone and sedimentary rock of the 

 cave were formed subsequently to man's occupation, from which is 

 argued man's existence in Nicaragua long before his advent in Europe, 

 at least 180,000 years ago.
