BOATS. Ill 



East Havelland (Brandenburg), on sandy soil covered by a layer of peat exceed- 

 ing three meters in thickness.* 



Two Danish oaken dug-outs — or rather their remnants— in the Copenhagen 

 Museum, which probably belong to the bronze age, are represented in Worsaae's 

 catalogue. Yet the distinguished archajologist is not altogether certain as to 

 their antiquity, for the word Broncealderen Avith an interrogation-mark after it 

 forms the heading of the page on which they are figured .f 



Here I bring my account of prehistoric fishing in Europe to a close.

t Worsaae: Nordiske Oldsager ; p. G6, Figs. 294 and 295. — On page 65 of his catalogue Mr. Worsaae repre- 

 sents in Fig. 293 a bronze-age coffin, consisting of tbe excavated half of an oak-stem with truncated ends. Below 

 the figure the word Liigkiste is printed, which means Leh;henki.ste in German, and corpse-cliest in English. M. 

 Gabriel de Mortillet erroneously refers to it as a Danish canoe of the bronze age (Materiaux, Vol. Ill, 1867 ; 

 p. 43).
