old sea-cave (140 feet above the present sea-level) at Whitburn, 

 on the coast of Durham, to which they had evidently been 

 brought by man — together with bones of the Great Auk, Razor- 

 bill, and various mammals (R. Howse, "Nat. Hist. Trans.? 

 Northumberland and Durham," 1880, p. 361). 



In Denmark Dr. Herluf Winge enumerates the following 

 places where bones of Gannets have been found (" Orn. 

 jordfundne Fugle fra Danmark," sartryk orf Vidensk. meddel. 

 fra den Naturh. Foren. 1 Kbk, 1903) : Fannerup near Meil- 

 gaard, Erteb</)lle, Hessel^, in the southern Kattegat, Bor- 

 rebjerg kitchenmiddens, Ordrup mose, i.e., bog or moss of 

 Ore Torp. 



Dr. Winge gives a list of several other species of birds, which 

 were also identified, in the same kitchenmiddens. 



Dr. Winge considers the Gannet bones found at Fannerup 

 and Erteb<^llef)robably date from the older Stone Age (B.C. 4000- 

 3000), while the bones from Hessel^ date from the later Stone 

 Age. To those found at Borrebjerg he would not assign an 

 earlier date than dr. B.C. 400-300. 



Since his Report was published more Gannet-bones have 

 been found at Kassemose in Seeland. 



In Norway also Gannet bones have been found in a great 

 kitchenmidden of the Stone Age at Viste, Jaederen, as recorded 

 by Dr. Winge (" Vistefundet en oeldre stenalders Kj<^kken- 

 m<^dding fra jaederen," av A. W. Br(pgger).
