The following implements were actually found in the Relic- 

 bed :— 



Flint Knife OR Dagger. — [This very fine implement was 

 found in the early period of the excavations in the part marked 

 A — B on the plan (page 97), and is in the possession of Mr. 

 Davis, the Head-master of the Board School at Braintree. 

 Through his kindness I am able to present a photograph of it

 With edge view of same. 



here (Fig. 7), I have tried to persuade him to add this to the 

 objects in the collection when they are placed in the Essex Fie 

 Club's Natural History Museum at Stratford. I trust that 

 when he sees the other parts of the collection installed there he 

 may do so. The implement measures 5f inches in length and 

 2 inches at the greatest width. A similar specimen is figured in 

 Evan's Stone Implevients, page 349, fig. 264. — F.W.R.]
